“Nixon didn’t do Watergate” is one of those conspiracy theories where it’s like, I see where you’re coming from, but everything went just a little too well to be planned

Joe Biden is a lot like Gerald Ford, a well-heeled lunk thrown into the Oval Office by the happenstance of history. Ford, to his credit, seemed to recognize this and presided (poorly) with this delicate position in mind. Biden ignored this reality as if God’s Favorite Son was in his rightful place.

Transphobia is genuinely an elite fixation that is much less popular than most politicians and media outlets would have you believe.

Former President Obama says Democrats made a mistake by making goals materialistic and instrumental: "What people are starved for at the moment is the ability to tell a moral and ethical story about how we live together in this moment."

The thing about trying to appeal to right wing bigots is that right wing bigots are all stupid idiots who get 100% of their news from propagandists so they will never actually find out that you were trying to appeal to them in the first place

A useful way to think about it is to imagine a republican candidate saying one thing that you liked, agreeing with you on exactly one issue. That would totally work, right? Donald Trump announces he’s for one thing you are also for and then you vote for him. See how stupid it sounds.

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

I’m really trying not to go for cheap heat on here but you can write off any politician that does not support trans rights without equivocating because it’s the morally correct thing to do and additionally because it means they’re not above selling anyone out.

underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.
Abdul El-Sayed: "Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer ... their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact the president has made $2.2 billion ... "
