if you want to be the party of government, you have to be the party of good government. this is another way of saying details matter. if you want to attack inequality, you need to make sure it *works.* and it turns out the design of tax systems matters quite a lot.

This poll from Cook is bonkers. A *huge* plurality of voters (43% overall, 61% of Ds) want Dems to focus on changing the political system overall vs. just opposing (21%, 36% of Ds) or working with Trump (35%, 3% of Ds).

You don't have an inalienable right to be an antisocial dipshit because you're doomscrolling all day and it makes you feel terrible. There are no qualifiers to this. You are not released from the obligation to try to be decent just because Elon Musk is lighting the world on fire.

Feels like Republicans are always tagged with "candidate quality issues" where these duds are compared to a hypothetical "normal" replacement candidate. But I think an honest look at the track record is that these candidates aren't below median: they simply are the new median

We really need to do more to raise the salience about the partisan nature of jobs like “car dealer” and “chiropractor” the same way conservatives have done to teachers and scientists. Dem elites need to do more to signal to their base that small business tyrants are their enemies.

It is so bewildering that a transpanic over **sports** was the tip of the spear that ended in a bill to literally eliminate the word "gender" from the Iowa Civil Rights Code. If I hear one more person use sports as a justification for actual legal discrimination I'm going to lose my goddamn mind.

Again, ~every poll on ~every policy issue is like this. We’re “polarized” in the same way the family Thanksgiving table is “polarized.” It’s a comfortable way to avoid talking about a deeply uncomfortable reality because hard family conversations about the relatives are hard.

Lukewarm take: I feel a lot of pessimism about the present is built on not realizing just how bad the past was. Like if you just read a book about poverty in a first-world country in the 1950s it's staggeringly worse than now.

The thing liberals fundamentally don't understand is that trans people are losing rights they already had. We're not asking for more, we're asking not to lose what we already had for decades. Most sports leagues and the Olympics had inclusion criteria for decades without issue.

Screenshot of an X (formerly Twitter) exchange discussing political pragmatism and the Overton window.
The initial post by onion person (@CantEverDie) reads:
> "doesn't matter, this is about what the right is able to push with the overton window. first its democrats needing to disavow trans women in sports to get elected, next it'll be agreeing to ban access to HRT to get elected. we've seen how this plays out"
>
A reply from Nick Pappas (@NickAPappas) reads:
> "Are you insane? The Overton window didn’t even include this discussion until recently. The public has never been in favor of desegregating the sports by sex.
> Personally I’m glad Barack Obama ran against gay marriage in 2008. Not because that was the right position, or one he even actually held, but because he knew the public wasn’t with him on it. If he hadn’t won he wouldn’t have been able to appoint 2 of the justices who ultimately voted in the majority for Obergefell.
> Lincoln in 1860 didn’t even run on abolishing slavery! He just wanted to stop its expansion. And thankfully he did that and won because a more extreme and morally correct position would have lost. As a result he was able to win the Civil War and push through the 13 amendment.
> Political practicality is the entire history of progress in America. There’s no other way."

sort of. I think that a mainstream party that implemented their preferences on immigration could win their votes. the thing is that even from a totally amoral perspective their preferences on immigration are idiotic and totally disastrous economically, so they mostly don't get implemented by them
