escaped @offbrandlabour.bsky.social · 07/02/2026I agree, but I think democratic leadership insistence over the last decade or so to focus on the issue where they poll well and avoid the issues where they poll badly is not helping matters. They are leaning into the narrative rather than pushing back 230

escaped @offbrandlabour.bsky.social · 22/01/2026Think of it this way - just like the scientific method is a way to discover things and make decisions, so is a trial. The move to make those kinds of decisions by trial, over say, duels, honor killings, whatever has been as consequential (more so!) as the scientific method 100

escaped @offbrandlabour.bsky.social · 19/01/2026Probably not the smartest thing electorally, but they could hold the primary for the next president in year 1 of a republican's term and then appoint a shadow cabinet etc. 000
escaped @offbrandlabour.bsky.social · 15/01/2026In fairness, it was not even your post that I was responding to, it was another guy saying this is the "death rattle" for Trump etc., and my point was meant to be more like "there is a lot more of this to come" and it's a mistake to expect them to just kind of flame out 010
escaped @offbrandlabour.bsky.social · 15/01/2026That's admittedly not a good summary of what you meant either, that's just how I read it. 100
escaped @offbrandlabour.bsky.social · 15/01/2026If this is about me, that's not what I meant! I sorry if I read too negatively your "Trump can't get more popular, therefore we will win" post. We need a plan for more fighting! 200
escaped @offbrandlabour.bsky.social · 15/01/2026I agree they can't hold any major American cities. But they do hold the white house! Are democrats gonna set up a legislature in exile and try to rule from there? What Trump is doing won't "work", but that's not enough. Eventually it has to be stopped, but he's not gonna until he is made to. 000
escaped @offbrandlabour.bsky.social · 15/01/2026I don't think that either. Trump can be beaten! But we need a plan beyond hoping Trump/Republicans are restrained by how unpopular what they are doing is. I don't think Trump is going to give up and I don't think MAGA just collapses on its own 000
escaped @offbrandlabour.bsky.social · 15/01/2026No, they will not. But you dont need that to start shooting people. How many dictators have incompetently driven their countries into the ground? 100
escaped @offbrandlabour.bsky.social · 15/01/2026What is the move if Trump arrests the incoming Democratic house members? I don't think it's enough to just say that will be unpopular and therefore we will win. 210
escaped @offbrandlabour.bsky.social · 15/01/2026Ok, but i think Republicans are also internalizing that Trump will be even less popular than he is now by November. So what do you think their next move will be? Because lose the election and give up power until sometime after Trump is gone does not seem likely. They will try harder to end democracy 400

escaped @offbrandlabour.bsky.social · 24/11/2025They see their politics/values (mostly "professionalism", and proper process) at a level above actual politics. Their policies don't flow directly from their politics. They first have to apply a technocratic rational mixed with poll tested political savy (and chats with journos) to produce action 020
escaped @offbrandlabour.bsky.social · 24/11/2025I think it's kind of downstream from a view of themselves as the referees of politics rather than participants. In a pluralistic way they are trying to manage different social groups together, not advance their own. The right got very good a "working the refs" 131

escaped @offbrandlabour.bsky.social · 18/09/2025I kinda think he is really only thinking of himself, and can't put himself in anyone else's position here.

escaped @offbrandlabour.bsky.social · 17/09/2025Very curious what this is supposed to mean, above existing cooperation. Surely no one expects S.A. to start shooting at the Indian military? Do they expect Pakistan to provide a "nuclear umbrella" to S.A.? 010
