Ralph, let me ask you. For the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/progressive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#progressive</a> movement now, as it faces the return of Donald <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a>, what do you think are the next steps in terms of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/resistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#resistance</a> or reorganization that have to occur?RALPH NADER: Well, it’s got to be focused on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Congress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Congress</a>. The House is not yet resolved, but only Congress can stop the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trumpsters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trumpsters</a>. It isn’t just Trump. Trump is a figurehead. Trump is a bullhorn. It’s the Trumpsters. It’s the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HeritageFoundation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HeritageFoundation</a>. It’s [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Project2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Project2025</a>]. It’s the takeover of departments that are dedicated to standing up for the people, the environmental protection bureau [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EPA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EPA</a>], the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CFPB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CFPB</a>], the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AutoSafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AutoSafety</a> bureau [I'll bet Trump puts Elon in charge of that], the Federal Trade Commission [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FTC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FTC</a>], the Justice Department. These are all going to be turned into virulent, vengeful or inactive governments. They want to destroy the civil service, bring it back to the spoils system. We’re in for huge turmoil. One can say that the election yesterday really elected <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PresidentVance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PresidentVance</a>. Trump is not going to last. He’s going to disintegrate. And <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Vance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vance</a> is in a position to become the next president.So, what has to be done, Juan, is massive focus on Congress, which is the main constitutionally authorized lever to hold the executive branch <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/accountable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accountable</a>, build for 2026. The Democrats will have far fewer people up for the Senate than the Republicans, unlike this year.And they’ve got to stop blasting away at people who want to challenge the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DemocraticParty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DemocraticParty</a>. The party says to everybody on their side, “You know how bad the Republicans are? You got nowhere to go.” They spent a lot of money attacking the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GreenParty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GreenParty</a>, the tiny Green Party, instead of listening to William Barber, Reverend William Barber, who said, “Look, there’s 80 million people who aren’t going to vote. A lot of them are low-wage workers. If you get 15% of low-wage workers who aren’t voting to go to the polls, the Democrats would have won.” They didn’t listen to him. They didn’t listen to all the citizen groups who know how to talk to people, not just liberal patients or liberal workers, but conservative workers, conservative patients. Remember, a vast majority of this country wants to tax the undertaxed <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wealthy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wealthy</a> and the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/corporations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#corporations</a>. They want to break up the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigBanks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigBanks</a>. And above all, in poll after poll, they say that corporations have too much control over their lives. Sherrod Brown pulled in his horns and lost. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BernieSanders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BernieSanders</a> campaigned on corporate power, and he won in a landslide in Vermont. And Harris refused to campaign with Bernie Sanders, but she campaigned in several states with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LizCheney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LizCheney</a> of the criminal Cheney family and the invasion of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Iraq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Iraq</a> that killed over a million Iraqis.So the blunders were endless. And it was basically turning her back on the progressive and the genuine populist constituency in this country. And Bernie, of course, supported Harris, but his positions were rejected constantly. He said, “Get the living wage up. Get universal healthcare up. Crack down on corporate crooks. Increase Social Security benefits that have been frozen for over 50 years. And get the taxation on the wealthy.” She ignored all that. Just throwaway lines. OUCH!Read more: <a href="https://www.democracynow.org/2024/11/6/ralph_nader_on_trumps_win" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.democracynow.org/2024/11/6/ralph_nader_on_trumps_win</a>
