As an activist, the strategy re: pushing a candidate/elected to staying quiet on a particular issue vs to saying exactly what you want about that issue is an important one that I think is currently undervalued. Yes, we live in a state of constant crisis, but no we can’t forget about the long game.

There are officially now more DSA voters than MAGA voters. So, when is the media going to stop treating DSA as an exotic monster and giving DSA voters the same respectful reverence that we’ve heard in countless rural diner interviews etc for the last decade ???

If you are a member of DSA, I encourage you to consider signing on to this. This is the type of action that can prevent disasters like Platner from happening again. We cannot allow ppl whose recklessness threatens the movement to retain positions of power, official or otherwise.

I wonder if Dem elected officials currently fawning over or posting about their ‘friendship’ w Lindsey Graham realize how very efficiently they are indicating their complete out-of-touch-ness w the base and the obvious need for them to be challenged in their next primary…

THIS is the reporting to read about the Platner fiasco. Also: Daniel Moraff should not be allowed within 100miles of any Democratic campaign for the foreseeable future (and Bernie needs to tighten up his endorsement process, to put it mildly…): paydayreport.com/platners-dan...

It’s telling that SCOTUS claims that biological sex is an acceptable basis for restrictive state law but then refuses to define what that is. Gives away the whole game - It’s almost like we don’t walk around examining each other’s genitals etc but rely on social presentation instead (ie, GENDER!)

I’m not a huge Platner fan, but yesterday’s @nytimes.com story is a shockingly transparent hit piece whose only source is literally a Republican operative who ran an org to support Kavanaugh’s SCOTUS bid. They owe readers numerous factual corrections and an apology.

Whining and demanding arrests bc ppl threw snowballs at you (*at a snowball fight*) is next level snowflake behavior. Like, totally insufferable, 90% eye roll response stuff. The way this is playing out is one more piece of evidence that a major vibe shift has happened (thank god…)

Why does Ross Douhat retain his very prominent position at @nytimes.com ? He represents no actual significant American political or social grouping. If NYT needs a conservative for window dressing, fine, but that shouldn’t require ensconcing someone who engaged in/excused eliminationist rhetoric.

Look at Labour in the UK (neoliberal triangulating coward shit) vs Morena in Mexico (massive public works and redistribution programs). One is wildly popular and a stabilizing force for democracy, the other is precipitating total political collapse. American Dems should take heed 🧐🧐🧐

Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"

Hot take — the myriad talking heads who have spent countless hours faux-puzzling about ‘how can democrats reconnect w men/the working class/minority voters who shifted to Trump/etc???’ are studiously ignoring the fact that Zohran’s campaign effectively and decisively provided the answer.
