Never-Trumper opposition sorted into basically two groups - total Trump capitulation, and (mostly) mainstream lib. It’s very hard to live your life in between ideological blocs and eventually you just become your environment.

Republicans are going to have a 53-47 majority in the Senate, and yet here’s Trump urging the Senate to go into recess so that he can bypass it altogether. In other words, he wants to install folks who couldn’t even get through *that* Senate. It’s going to be a long four years.
Any Republican Senator seeking the coveted LEADERSHIP position in the United States Senate must agree to Recess Appointments (in the Senate!), without which we will not be able to get people confirmed in a timely manner. Sometimes the votes can take two years, or more. This is what they did four years ago, and we cannot let it happen again. We need positions filled IMMEDIATELY! Additionally, no Judges should be approved during this period of time because the Democrats are looking to ram through their Judges as the Republicans fight over Leadership. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THANK YOU!

The idea that the party that is going to gleefully fire Lina Kahn and replace her with a corporate lackey is ACTUALLY more left-wing on antitrust than the party that appointed her is..."galaxy brained" seems grossly inadequate

It's important to keep both facts in mind: The country is still narrowly divided, but there was a nationwide swing to the right.
I mean, sure: the level does not represent an overwhelming victory for Trump. The trend, however, does: 90+% of counties and 49/50 states moved right.

I did not expect this to be so prescient when I wrote it, but watching the entire center-left commentariat coalesce around doing an anti-Woke Cultural Revolution over the last few days has been unspeakably grim. nathangoldwag.wordpress.com/…

Hate to agree with Nate but he’s right on this particular point
Love to see these Biden people talk shit about the hypothetical campaign they would have run when they *actually did run a campaign*, did absolutely none of this, and it was the worst presidential campaign of my lifetime to the point where he had to quit. theatlantic.com/politics/arc…

2028 Dem hopefuls: we need to talk to normal people in a normal way. Also 2028 Dem hopefuls: let's discuss neoliberal late capitalism and atomization of social structures.

If you're a presidential hopeful talking about neoliberalism you're going to lose. No one knows what that is and no one cares. We have multiple elections that prove this.

This.
Democrats after losing by 2 points: Our brand is in ashes. We need a complete overhaul. Republicans after losing by 4.5 points: Let's run the same guy again.

It’s a pointless speculative thing that’s all downstream of the media simply despising Joe Biden
The takes that Biden should have stepped down earlier seem to imply that someone other than Harris would have won the primary, and that person would have a higher chance of winning. I think these are both specious assumptions.

"My liberal friends aren't the type to get mad at me" and "my undocumented family members are too nice to deport" are closely related delusions.

“The wreckage of fifty years of neoliberalism”
Replying to @ChrisMurphyCT
2/ The left has never fully grappled with the wreckage of fifty years of neoliberalism, which has left legions of Americans adrift as local places are hollowed out, rapacious profit seeking cannibalizes the common good, and unchecked new technology separates and isolates us.

In case you were wondering if this think tank has their finger on the pulse of the American voter, their founder is the guy who coined the slogan “abolish ICE”
🙃🙃Dems need to move to the center🙃🙃

The whole “anti-neoliberal” thesis was “we traded off Midwestern manufacturing jobs for cheaper Chinese goods” and then we pursued policies that brought back Midwestern manufacturing jobs but raised prices…and voters hated it I feel like I’m losing my mind

Love how often the people furious that I’ve impugned their decency by calling them narcissistic bullies immediately resort to a slur in their angry self-loving retorts.

I'm just a boy living in a 93% non-white Obama-Clinton-Biden-Trump precinct, asking you to please understand that the American working class votes on cultural issues, not economic ones.

The left is down to “well Dems can’t credibly run as the maximally restrictionist party on immigration, so they might as well run on open borders”
