Our Revolution, the liberal activist group born out of Vermont senator Bernie Sanders’s 2016 presidential campaign, is publicly feuding with Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris over her decision to tout “endorsements from figures like Liz Cheney and other Republicans.”
In a press release issued Wednesday—less than two weeks before Election Day—the group said Harris is wasting “precious time chasing GOP endorsements that won’t translate into votes.” The release included a survey of thousands of “progressive voters,” 15 percent of whom said they would not vote for Harris due, in part, to her “strategy of embracing Republican figures like Liz Cheney.”
“We’ve seen time and time again that it is not a winning strategy,” said Our Revolution executive director Joseph Geevarghese. “In a world of limited time and resources, Democrats should invest resources in their base, not in courting Republicans who aren’t coming over.”
“Our survey and reports from the field tell us that progressives are deeply concerned about the campaign’s focus on appeasing conservatives while ignoring the bread-and-butter issues that matter most to working families.”
The group’s willingness to spar with Harris in the open just days before the election could spell trouble for the vice president. Harris is polling neck-and-neck with former president Donald Trump in swing states such as Michigan, where more than 100,000 people voted “uncommitted” in the state’s Democratic primary. Our Revolution endorsed that effort, which was led by Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s (D., Mich.) sister. […]

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
