The fact they're simultaneously running don't vote campaigns and trying to undermine the dem candidate is proof that the moneybags who own these publications are united in realizing their robber baron days are drawing to a close under a guy who is the most pro labour president of the 21st century

In addition to @smotus.bsky.social tweet on this w/re to Trump

Biden has presided over a major economic recovery that has outpaced every other major economy in the world. Domestic violence has decreased. A pandemic is under control. NATO is stronger.

That is a great way to govern!

I don’t know how to explain to our nation’s top editorial boards that the Democratic Party is an actual organization with a lot of rules and history to it, not just a store that distributes team jerseys, and it has already selected delegates to its nominating convention.
