“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

When was the last time the press ran a story about republicans making intemperate remarks about democrats? Fretting about whether republicans are doing enough to be bipartisan, to reach out to the forgotten voters who favor the democrats?

I can't help but notice Sen. Klobuchar's laser-like focus on Schmitt's breach of civility ("dirtbag") rather than his baseless allegation of criminality ("perjury").

I'll also note a certain fact about Amy Klobuchar's work history (county prosecutor) since she seemed considerably more offended by someone using a mean name in the Senate than by someone falsely accusing someone of a crime

This is probably easier than you’d think too. The Trump II people that are leading the enterprise haven’t been careful and many of them are implicated in things they simply thought would never come up again. Federal workers have kept a ledger, and members of Congress’ phones are open.

What Trump is doing isn’t just using that body in a harmful way; he’s breaking pieces of it so that it *only* works in the wrong way, not the right way. Like breaking your elbow so it only bends backwards.

If we're thinking on the span of decades—I saw someone say "she should be the SML until the 2060s and then run for president"—this makes a little more sense. But it's a strange choice in every other aspect, because it requires a level of trust in the rest of the candidate pool that I don't share

I think a lot of people assume that she would easily have a path to building dominance in the Senate, but it's a much more conservative body than the House, and its progressive wing is a lot smaller than the House's. This is not necessarily an indication that she should run, though!

It's sort of nice to imagine "Senate Majority Leader AOC", but there's absolutely no reason to believe this would happen. You can map out a way that she wins the presidency, but you need a majority of the caucus to vote for you as SML and that's not happening

I think the problem with people saying "this is a great idea" is that her being in the Senate instantly makes her a somewhat-above-replacement-level senator (like, slightly better than Leticia James). She would have no seniority—90% of the caucus would be more senior—and little popularity

Donald Trump is not himself the disease of our politics. He’s just the worst symptom. The disease is the system that allows corporations to buy and sell politicians so they can rig it against the rest of us. Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All.

Okay, so I have a plan to get everyone on our side. First, we be absolutely as viscerally unpleasant as possible. Next, we downplay any time we get what we want, say it's the bare minimum and so forth. Finally, if anyone gives up and says we win or apologizes, we belittle them.
