This is in fact a totally rational reaction you can think Zohran and Bernie are decent people and also like the free market. The country would be in better shape if more people thought this way in fact. Polarization is midwit.

Electorally speaking it's more important for Democrats to avoid Blueskyism that leftism. Not that Bluesky is important but it embodies all the characteristics that make progressivism unappealing to normal people. If you could subtract those the left would win more often.

If Trump doesn’t get a handle on the cost of living he’s toast.

Did the @FAANews authorise the research drones over Germany this week as well? Or, the ongoing incursions over @usairforce bases worldwide? The official authorised 'drones' explanation smells like gobshite newspeak.

Billionaires should not own social media platforms. Billionaires should not run our newspapers. Billionaires should not control our politics. A free media is a democratic media - a public good that is owned and run by us all.

NEW: Anderson Cooper stands completely speechless after Whitney Cummings says Dems couldn’t hold a primary because they were too busy holding up a dead body. “It was amazing that the Pro-Choice Party didn't give their voters one…”

Billionaires in the U.S. are .0005% of the population, yet accounted for 18% of 2024 electoral spending. Just 150 billionaire families spent nearly $2 billion. This is not democracy. It is oligarchy. Time to overturn Citizens United and move to public funding of elections.

The next DNC chair should make two things clear: No super pac money in democratic primaries and not a dime of corporate pac money for the DNC. That is a basic first step to ensure our party represents working and middle class Americans.

Lol she specifically lost the most ground among the traditional D base, e.g. in blue states/cities and among working class voters of color. Basically, the only people she gained with is with Extremely Online Stancilites who mistake their weird views for the base vote.

A lot of the problem for Democrats is that their pipeline for campaign "talent" selects for high agreeableness, high neuroticism when the best campaign operatives are usually people who kind of don't give a fuck.

Whenever I hear about how Democrats listened too much to the left, I think often about the Loan Shark Prevention Act I worked on that AOC and Bernie introduced into Congress. It would put a 15% cap on payday and credit card loans. When we polled it, it was hugely popular…

Friends don't let friends debate the future of the Democratic Party without being clear on whether they're debating the 2024 election or the 2016-2024 shifts in the electorate. The former you can explain with inflation. The latter you can't.
