One thing they’ve been very successful at is making it so when sober experts put their careers and reputations on the line to issue grave warnings, it gets mostly a shrug.

Every conservative principle that could have merit is already represented in the mainstream Democratic Party, not to mention fully abandoned by conservatives themselves. What's left? Bigotry, sadism, tantrums over corporate logos. This is what you're trying to find common ground with

One reason for Democrats to ditch their reflex to say "You have a point" to the other side is the right wing hasn't had a good point about anything in most of our lifetimes

This ‘blue states closed schools too long’ narrative is becoming increasingly entrenched in the Polite Center but it’s arguable at best. Republican states had far more deaths during COVID and their students have roughly comparable learning loss.

as funny as it is to imagine a scenario where Trump just randomly keels over and dies because he is an unhealthy senile 80 year old, it's important to keep in mind that the scenario where he has a stroke or heart attack and is merely severely incapicitated but remains alive is MUCH FUNNIER

If Senate Dem leaders cave to Trump later this month and fund the government without getting major concessions (ending ICE raids, firing RFK Jr., getting troops out of cities) the revolt from the Dem base, particularly the normies, will be earth shaking.

If you don't like Newsom so you won't vote for him in the primary, but yr still publicly saying "but if he gets the nomination I'll vote for him" yr making it more likely that he will win the primary.

Given the stakes, it seems self-evident that Dems should go with someone who’s at least acceptable to the entire coalition. Sorting that out is what primaries are for.
Joshua Holland (@joshuaholland.bsky.social) reposted
If Newsom manages to get nominated after alienating a big chunk of the base then people will hold their noses and vote for him. Meanwhile, the fact that people say they would never vote for him in 2025 is an electability argument against him in the primaries. So keep that up.
