But if they just do "affordability" and then appear as if they are prioritizing something else, they will lose again. I think running on prosecuting public corruption could be both popular and effective here. "Returning to normal" was a boneheaded framing from Biden and we should not do it again.

I think in general politicians should run on the things they want to do and then do them. If the D nominee in 2028 runs on a platform that prioritizes monument removal and gets elected, then go for it.

I would also enjoy this, but I think the only way a program like that happens successfully is if Dems can do it mostly quietly in the background while loudly doing populist economic stuff. If Trump is still alive there is no way that happens because he will make it the main thing.

I am assuming that fully starving the Pentagon of funding will be politically untenable, in which case they have to get something big out of it.

Democrats should impeach Hegseth in 2027, and if they don't get a conviction they should demand his scalp anyway for more war funding.

I'm not that optimistic about bipartisan deficit reduction because cutting/never increasing taxes on the wealthy is the true core purpose of the modern Republican party. Everything else is fundamentally instrumental.

I think Republicans pretty much always campaign on parts of Maslow's second and third level needs but govern on protecting their real constituents' (rich people) level one needs (tax cuts).
