Ryan Grim breaks down what's missing from the viral Jon Stewart–Ezra Klein clip on rural broadband: corporate interference in governance and money in politics. This isn’t incompetence; it’s corruption—part of a long pattern in Democratic Party history, as Grim explains: "I wrote We've Got People, covering the Democratic Party...

@ryangrim This is ridiculous. Warren people now complaining about Ezra decided to forge an alliance with the D establishment, rather than fight the excesses of Biden, like they did under Obama. Ezra has a vision, if Warren people can do it better, say how, but don’t attack Ezra.

So it's the blame here that corporations stopped this from being actualized or the incompetency of the democratic ruling class? Who had the power to effect change? If the person that had power to effect change dis not use their power effectively then it is their fault. For every program, you will always have detractors. They sold this program to Americans and designed it to fail. Simple. No buts or maybes. The the Democrats period.

AOC on the Democratic Party abandoning working people: "And after I was elected, I remember I was crossing this threshold. And there was this closed, door meeting of many high, ranking Democratic Party officials, people that you see in the news and all of that. And they, they derided behind closed doors at that time a long time ago. They derided many of the populist demands that I had run my campaign on. And I had defeated a 20, year Democratic incumbent that was part of Democratic Party leadership, and, um. And they said, $15 minimum wage at that time, way too high, too severe. The idea of tuition free public colleges and universities, um, too far. Expanding health insurance and Medicare too extreme. And these are all the things that I as a waitress had campaigned on and had been major pain points in my life. And then they said, we have to listen to working, class people more. And I think that that encapsulates much of the betrayal that the working class in the United States had felt. But we have also come a long way since then, and we have a long way to go. The United States right now is experiencing a political pendulum. And depending really, the party that is seen most as betraying the working class tends to be the governing party in this moment right now, um, that happens to be the Republican majority. But really, what we are seeing over the last eight years, I think, has been a growing recognition that, of those past errors that go back, that include military interventionism in the Iraq War, that include a recognition of NAFTA as a failed policy for many rural and working, class communities. And now I think we are moving in this direction of increased recognition that we have to have a working, class, centered politics if we are going to succeed, and also if we are going to stave off the scourges of authoritarianism, which also provides political sirens, political siren calls to allure people into finding scapegoats to blame are for rising economic inequality. Both domestically and globally."

It turned philosophical. As Devine dove in deeper to Gabbard’s rise to where she’s sitting today, Devine asked Gabbard about her infamous departure from the Democratic Party, the party she once represented and even ran for president under. Gabbard let it all out. She said the modern Democratic Party has abandoned the Constitution entirely, and what we’re seeing now is a “spiritual problem” rooted in a rejection of objective truth. She saw it coming and says she was mocked for speaking out. “I remember, as I was running for president in 2020… I talked about wanting to revive kind of a new Democratic Party that would bring it back to our roots of fighting for the people, of fighting for free speech.” “And I was ridiculed. I was ridiculed at that Democratic event for having the audacity to say such things.” That was just five years ago. She says the party’s descent has only accelerated since then. “The Democratic Party has rapidly become far more extreme.” So where did things go so wrong? “You can point to a lot of different moments,” “But really fundamentally, the Democratic Party is not rooted in the Constitution.” What troubles her most is their denial of reality. “Their refusal, for example, to accept that there is such a thing as objective truth.” “We have people in the Democratic Party—almost everyone—who accepts this or promotes and propagates that there is no such thing as a man or a woman.” And it doesn’t stop there. “How is it that these people really don’t believe that there is such a thing as objective truth?” “Fundamentally, it’s a spiritual problem where they are putting themselves in the position of believing that they are God, and therefore they are the ones who designate what is true and what is not, what is right and what is wrong.” This was a total unmasking of her former party.
