22. People really should listen to the interview. He says "there is a lack of integrity ABOUT the DNC BRAND"
Fri Jan 24, 2025, 10:19 AM
Friday

He goes on to say that people don’t trust that the DNC is an organization for the working man. He continues talking about how when Biden was standing at picket lines there wasn’t an organized effort by the DNC to mobilize that moment. That there was a reason why Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk didn’t like Biden - and Harris - but that wasn’t made known to people who then didn’t recognize that the Democrats were fighting for working people not billionaires. And he talks about how the DNC has to be bold in standing up to the corporate interests and against money in politics and become a really strong grassroots movement.

It’s nothing about the DNC or Dems lacking integrity but that requires listening to the interview and not reading a NBC headline.

He really is so right about everything he said in the ACTUAL interview. But because people read a headline that leaves out the words “brand of” the DNC - it’s so much easier to write a post talking about something that didn’t actually get said and is completely outside the whole 7 minute interview. And of course…..Bernie Sanders.
