at least in the immediate aftermath, yes
We do that while we seriously think through what it means to be “different.” To show that our defense of democracy/institutions doesn’t mean we defend what is clearly a broken politics that has contributed to the greatest amount of inequality in our nation’s history. 11/12
I’m seeing a lot of lefties talking about a failure to appeal to the working class but I think we should be more specific about some of the tensions embedded in this conversation, and I’m going to start with one of Biden’s signature policies - the expanded child tax credit /1
I don’t want to operate off of anecdotes or projections bc real data is coming in just an hour…. BUT I think it’s fair to say that our county—Montgomery County—PA’s largest suburban county—is on track for extraordinary, historic turnout!
I think it's very important to recognize any real or perceived issues with Pennsylvania election laws are due to a lack of legislative action since the 2019 passage of Act 77 to address such things as pre-canvassing, dating of ballots, drop boxes and the like.

You can't simultaneously argue that 2024 is an existential event in which democracy is at stake and that it's acceptable or desirable for the Democrats to nominate a candidate who can't communicate and has to be hidden from public view. It's absurd this is even a conversation.

This was the path. Make the convention the biggest, most laudatory retirement party ever, and pass the baton

Trump is lying through his teeth and Biden is letting him get away with it. Any number of potential Democratic nominees would be taking Trump down.
A new, historically diverse leadership slate takes the helm in MontCo this week. We are in good hands with @NeilMakhija — an election lawyer and civil rights advocate by trade — leading the Board of Elections in PA’s largest competitive county.

NEW: "The current winner-take-all system magnifies the advantages of the majority party and punishes the minority party," writes @danbalz. Read his exploration of reforms w/the potential to strengthen democracy, which quotes PD's @g_tudor & @btremitiere: washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/…
Only about 1 in 4 of Americans consistently and uniformly support democratic norms. Support drops to 1 in 12 when we consider specific scenarios of unilateral executive action. Our democracy is on spongy ground New, w/ @joegoldman @oscarpocasangre democracyfund.org/idea/democracy…
A spontaneous second line parade has formed and is now heading up broad 🦅
I would advise you to turn your eye away from Capitol Hill and toward the actual governing going on in Washington. This rule could lead to hundreds of billions of dollars in benefits from ending illegal wage suppression.
If you the house speaker debacle is interesting, you should check out your local city council
