not to be glib but this entire argument presupposes a small-d democratic opposition playing mostly within the “old” rules and, at most, relying on mass mobilization against the authoritarian regime. just seems odd to treat the regime as the only entity capable of violence in the most armed country

God we’re so lucky that this unlikable doofus is trying to claim the mandate after Trump eats it. 100% does not have the juice to pull this off. Might be the first President to get tarred and feathered if Trump dies in office.

A good thread on the fall of UChicago. I'd add that they leaned harder into speech panic than perhaps any other major institution. It turns out, if you can believe it, that there were more pressing issues on campus.

putting aside the trans rights issues specifically (lol), I think part of what has me so frustrated with the Newsom thing is that Pritzker, Walz, and Zohran are putting on clinics for a popular, progressive politics and we’re wasting time talking about this used car salesman ass goblin.

sure but the limiting factor here the fact that many blue states are already facing huge budget deficits because of federal funding going up in flames. I mean the CTA alone is facing a $770m shortfall in 2026, we’re not in a position to establish the Illinois equivalent to the NIH or whatever

probably not as far as the theatrics / trump-like tweets but if he manages to get a new house map drawn in CA (and passed by voters) i suppose that has some tangible benefits

the media is absolutely a problem here as you often have pointed out but what exactly is dem leadership (other than pritzker and newsom) doing to signal any sort of coherent policy message that appeals to voters
martin (@emdoubleues.bsky.social) reply parent
are you making an argument about dems now or dems when they occupy the white house? because i think you’re exactly right about the media not focusing on biden’s policy messaging in office (vs his age) but dems now (schumer/jeffries) don’t have a coherent message. so what’s there to listen to?
