"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."

Rank and file Democrats want fighters for candidates. Most of us don't care if they're "establishment" Democrats or if they're DSA. If they will fight for Democratic principles they are getting support and it's paying off for them.

Our tax dollars should come back to us in the form of good schools, affordable health care, safe infrastructure, and strong communities. Public money should serve the public. Period.

Centrism is just conservatism. It doesn't help progress, it just tries to stop it. It doesn't fix problems, it tries to half-ass them. It doesn't create unity, it just compromises with evil.

the fact that john ossoff can kick off a two-day media cycle by saying that the president is uninterested in doing his job and is sleeping through meetings and traveling around with a young blonde, suggests that not enough of these guys are speaking plainly and effectively about these assholes

I sometimes wonder if democratic voters have ever heard of the concept of “talking shit.” Every suggestion is responded to with a wonky “well actually that would trigger procedure 572-l and actually it’s impractical to…” Politicians should just talk shit. Stop wonking off.

I’ve been saying this for a few years and I won’t stop - almost all of the gop shit is easily branded as a “war on kids.” Genital inspections. Abducting immigrant families. Cutting health care. Gutting education. It’s a War on Kids.

The Republican Majority of the Roberts SCOTUS is essentially operating as the judicial branch of the Republican Party doing what they can to help their party win elections. Their actions at this point speak for themselves.

The singular goal of all future US politics is to ensure Trumpism is defeated and cannot again take root here, and everything that serves that end is to be considered and prioritized. It's a holistic organizing principle, from a Green New Deal to Nuremberg 2 to expanding the court to Reconstruction.

Dems need to be flying back to DC immediately and canceling all district events. "Sorry, I can't make the Rotary Club meeting because the president is a demented psychopath who is about to unleash war crimes and I'm needed in the Capitol." Urgency must also be in deeds, not just words.

"But they don't have the votes for impeachment so you can't criticize them for not saying it" is fallacious. Dems don't have the votes to do anything. Even post-midterms, they still wouldn't have the votes to override vetoes, either. It's nonsensical to say they therefore shouldn't advocate stuff.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

I do think it is noteworthy that the first two cabinet-level firings were both 1) women 2) doing everything possible to do what he wanted. I mean, Trump’s a misogynist, news at 11, but still.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.
