Massively important story. We’ll see how this goes, but Talarico isn’t within striking range because of some kind of heterodox move to the right. He’s making a strong, clear case for ideas that work better than plainly horrific Republican ones.

This is a huge shift. The data is so clear even Third Way is on board. Strength and clarity beat “heterodox” mumbling and weakness every time. Hopefully next time we have this debate Dems can skip over the years of running ads that help Rs.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

Norway has solution to this actually, stay at home parents can get their share of the public daycare subsidy as cash, that way parents are not pushed one way or the other. the problem of course is virtually no one on the center or right actually gives a shit about parents

Don't forget that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social wants to let the GOP get away with all of this. He said let's turn the page and get on with business. He's on the side of the Nazis if he thinks this kind of thing is acceptable in the United States of America. This can't be allowed to slide. It can't.

Sorry, I know everyone likes this ad, but this is not a strong approach. The words you say go in ad go into people’s brains, and they often don’t bring the context that you have when you watch something. Less substantively, I think the potty talk is a dumb trend. Hopefully it’s not on tv.

Dan Ancona @danancona.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

HELL YES. I agree with every word of this. Hinojosa’s campaign has been disappointing. And the median Dem ad is actually worse and more out of touch than I’ve seen in five cycles of doing this. Dems can fight and win on all these issue areas. But they’re not even trying.

Dan Ancona @danancona.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Some great news here: big majorities want to prioritize changing the system over just stopping Trump, including a quarter of Rs! But rather than target those entirely gettable and plentiful Rs, some Dems are still saying they want to work with him. It's madness.

I think that's the thing: They're not even the "Business Party" so much as the "Whichever Business Bribes Us The Most" party, and the pollution cartel has had way too much money for way too long for the renewable industry to out-bribe them.

This may be preliminary but could be great news. We've seen a little evidence these ads are backfiring at least with younger/turnout type voters. (I do not have quant yet) They might be seeing it too. And the best campaign stories are always built around warfare references. Bonus points for LOTR.

This🤬🤬🤬 guy. Dems were RUNNING ADS touting their support for this awful thing. (which was and is idiotic, but never mind that) It was very widely reported at the time that Trump personally intervened to kill it so he could use it to whack Dems over the head. Paxton is a flat liar.

In survey after survey, year after year, voters say Democrats are weak. Messaging alone won't fix that, but if you start with a clear message that contrasts with your opponents—and then you govern in alignment with that message—Democrats can in fact shake off the "weak" tag.

Dan Ancona @danancona.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

We've got a shitload of work to do, but we need Democratic Socialism to mean "solving real problems" and "stopping the global authoritarian kakistocracy." When voters hear it they gotta think Norway, not Venezuela.
