Patrick Ruffini @patrickruffini.bsky.social · 06/07/2026There needs to be a mini-primary to replace Platner. That’s the lesson of 2024. Otherwise it’ll be someone the establishment likes who lacks legitimacy with voters. 000

Patrick Ruffini @patrickruffini.bsky.social · 23/11/2025It might not be aesthetically pretty but a new city like this in West Texas would simultaneously solve America’s housing shortage while giving people the kind of housing they want. 210
Patrick Ruffini @patrickruffini.bsky.social · 21/11/2025Democrats can't solve their problems with economic populism if it isn't also accompanied by cultural moderation. Pairing economic populism with cultural leftism does a net of 49 points worse overall, 27 points worse among persuadables. 110

Patrick Ruffini @patrickruffini.bsky.social · 02/11/2025The real fight in Democratic primaries isn’t exactly left vs. center. It’s Bro Socialist (Platner, Mamdani) vs. Wine Mom Resistance (Crockett, Mills). 020
Patrick Ruffini @patrickruffini.bsky.social · 30/10/2025Bernie Sanders was right when he agreed with President Trump that if you don’t have borders, you don’t have a country. 000
Patrick Ruffini @patrickruffini.bsky.social · 30/10/2025Democrats should moderate just like Trump moderated the GOP by adopting positions taken by the old industrial unions. 010

Patrick Ruffini @patrickruffini.bsky.social · 29/10/2025It’s true, I’ve endorsed Deciding to Win. Either I’m sincere but I know that by going public Dems will do the opposite, or I’m being disingenuous and I actually think you should move left. Either way, Republicans win. 010

Patrick Ruffini @patrickruffini.bsky.social · 12/09/2025Believing that 40% of your fellow countrymen are fascists, racists, bigots instead of something closer to 5% isn’t just misguided. It is hate. 100

Patrick Ruffini @patrickruffini.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Unhappiness is a feature of being on the left these days. A greater belief in societal ills is internalized, reinforced by being online 24/7. They talk often about right-wingers or Trump policies literally killing people. It’s no surprise we see the mental health gaps we do. 000

Patrick Ruffini @patrickruffini.bsky.social · 13/06/2025People don’t realize how big a national story Mamdani will be if he wins. Overnight, he’ll be turned into the leader of the Democratic Party. Progressives have no idea how bad he’s going to make them look. 000

Patrick Ruffini @patrickruffini.bsky.social · 27/01/2025A big part of the backlash to woke is that the story we used to tell about civil rights was a positive one about correcting past injustice but now it’s told in a negative and scolding tone even as more progress has been made. 320
