This is a good thread. Related, on Instagram I follow a mix of outdoor influencers and Mexican artists/politicians. Multiple posts about how the women were bullied by men and how they fought back. No coincidence I think.

Democrats caved and/or facilitated this monopolization of practically every major media property in the US into the hands of a MAGA fascist psychopath. If the US had an opposition party, each of its presidential contenders would would vow to dissolve this monopoly by any means necessary.

This is why I get pissed off when anyone accuses me of being an elitist when I say young people should go to college if they can. I say that because my dad was a local lineman and contractor who did heavy physical labor for years and has had chronic back pain since his early 30s

Democrats still refer to “MAGA Republicans” when discussing policies all Republicans support or actively enable. All this does is suggest that there are “normal” Republicans (like Lawler or Collins). It’s bad messaging but the Dem consultants won’t give it up.

We've also now seen multiple examples of elite backchannel communication with radicalizing effects. For example, the SV group chats & the Epstein emails. It's not just that they wanted to crush woke or whatever - it's that they were whipping each other up about it outside the public eye.

patient zero for whats wrong with the democrats nymag.com/intelligence...
Instead, BJ McCollister, who runs a Maine-based consulting firm called Frame Strategies and was Jackson’s chief of staff in the state senate, offered a choice of two people vetted by Schumer’s DSCC. The campaign went with Hilary Barrett, the former Nevada caucus chief for Joe Biden during the fractious showdown there between Biden and Sanders in 2020. (The campaign says it conducted an “exhaustive search” for the job that included more than two candidates.) Other consultants came from BerlinRosen, Hilltop Public solutions, and TKO, all powerful Washington- and New York–based firms strongly aligned with the Democratic Establishment. These firms had also been involved in Jackson’s gubernatorial efforts, but now they were in the driver’s seat.The Jackson campaign’s wariness of in-person events seems to merge with a general suspicion of Mainers and their conviction that they know what’s best for Jackson. A handful of them who work as staffers at this point “are treated like garbage” by the campaign bosses, according to one source. What’s more, this person went on, “in their mind, Troy is lumped in with them. There’s a vision of Maine that these folks have.” Multiple sources said campaign managers turned up their noses at some of the hokier events on his schedule, including a boisterous karaoke night and a contra dance on Labor Day weekend. “They think it’s going well when Troy is boring AF,” said another person with knowledge of the campaign. Karaoke, held at Baxter Brewing Co. in Lewiston, “was a blast,” according to one attendant, packed with people who were Jackson’s delegates or organizers. “Troy was on fire, and he was just himself again.” Members of the Washington contingent, according to multiple people present, hung out on a couch by themselves and left after about half an hour.

Another source familiar with the campaign said, “I don’t even think it’s disdain for Maine so much as it’s just disdain for, more generally, people. They want to run this campaign through numbers and spreadsheets. And wherever a campaign is connecting with people or doing anything quirky or unique, they’re like, ‘This is bad and weird.’”

One post-election narrative is already pre-baked: Voters turned out *against Trump* not *for Dems*—ergo Dems' post-2024 reckoning must continue. The first part will be true. The second part doesn't follow AT ALL. What should follow is *doing what voters signaled they want* so that they are grateful.

Swing Voters Won’t Be Grateful If Democrats Capitulate
Independents aren’t abandoning Republicans because Republicans refuse to pass message bills, but because they’ve given Trump carte blanche. We’ll know whether Democrats understand this by December.

A lot of Dems could take a lesson from this and openly acknowledge that their opponents are bigots. The resistance (mostly from establishment centrists) to stating plainly what's happening instead of using weasel words for the sake of civility is what makes voters think we're spineless.
