How can you be a threat to democracy if you concede your loss?This was fun for everyone involved, and a good time on Twitter where we all learned a lot. I hope someone is gathering signatures so we can do this again next year!

Shortly after Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom easily beat back a recall effort to remove him from office, Elder told a cheering crowd Tuesday that “we may have lost the battle, but we are going to win the war.”
Doesn’t Elder understand his role in the narrative? Cassandras across Twitter are dazed and confused this morning, and trying to decide if California means "something," or doesn't.
My brother who can stomach the media more than I can told me this morning they're all about how Gavin Newsom batting back the recall petition by "a landslide" is bad for Democrats. I haven't looked because I don't want to wreck my computer throwing it out the window.
ReplyDeleteA win is a win, a big win is a big win. Larry Elders is going to do the Trump grift on this and future "runs" for office, grifting all the way. If the Supreme Court hadn't destroyed campaign finance reform I suspect this would be far less lucrative for the c-list show-biz types like Trump and Elders.
Charlie Pierce apparently heard the same thing. I can't find out where it comes from, though his twitter feed implicates Mika (on "Morning Joe").
ReplyDeleteSomebody somewhere has to be saying it, because "Dems in disarray" and "horserace" and everything that is a Dem success is a trojan horse, all three narratives proving political journalists are "objective" and "fair and balanced."
Steve Bannon said (before Tuesday) that Elders blew it by accepting that Biden is actually POTUS; and then Elders goes out and concedes the race. Some say this means Trumpism is dead, and I think they're right. There's a lot of confusion between Trump making noises everyone seems compelled to listen to, and Trump actually moving the needed in electoral politics. He lost the House, the Senate, and re-election; and yet he's the 10,000 lb. gorilla we must all be afraid of. There's a powerful disconnect between the narrative and reality, and yet the narrative must be served.
Maybe they think it's a god, or something?
