The politics we have as Americans ultimately is up to us. We can choose for our democracy to be a dreary march to the drab center or running over groups of people with a metaphorical bus. Or we can choose an imagination battle that realigns the center ...

For two strong exceptions to the “almost” in this, please follow @WayToWinAF and @HITStrat, two groups who absolutely work to understand Black men. (And everyone else)

Hundreds of thousands of Black men are sitting out elections in Ohio. Almost no one is asking them why. ms.now/news/ohio-black-men-v…

A not-so-hidden electorate could swing Ohio, if only it voted

MS NOW spent time in the former swing state and found only modest efforts to reach young Black men, thousands of whom could vote but don’t.

Establishment Dem operatives might wish all this stuff would just go away, but it's not going to. Regardless of the politics, attacks on trans people are real kids lives, and immigrants and activists are getting summarily executed or thrown into concentration camps.

The good news is that more Americans are angry about this than is getting through to the Dem establishment. We're trying to close that research gap, but bottom line: these are bullies. They're not used to getting punched in the nose. If Dems punch back, they're going to win.

Asserting positive values generally works. Trans people, immigrants, podcasters - whoever the right is blaming this week - all deserve dignity, safety and respect. Then you can start suggesting voters ask cui bono. Who benefits from this fear and division?

We gave this a more thorough listen. It's really good and thoughtful and you should listen too. Just want to add a few quick thoughts. First, our approach to cultural issues is characterized as pivoting or changing the subject. But it's really not.

A couple fun mentions of us in this episode. Welcome Enemy Knowers! We are the only left of center operation actively engaging in research and media to counter the establishment group chats and forge big coalitions without triangulation.

There are so many opportunities for Dems. For some examples of how our strategic approach works in practice, see this fresh campaign data on Charting the Way Forward. Thank you, and we look forward to continuing the discussion. chartingthewayforward.substa…

And just to be clear, @daveweigel did a generally entirely solid job presenting our side of this discussion. Just wanted to clarify that one bit.

And what we've found is that if Dems choose to make a strong, clear case to voters, they can start to turn back the tactics of division, threat and fear that Republicans, MAGA and the right use to stop forward progress... even in the South and Southwest. 🏜️🏝️🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈🗽

More people need to pay attention to and invest in Mississippi this cycle. It’s winnable.

NEW POLLING with Lake Research: we found Dems have made progress in tough South and Southwest battleground terrain, going from R+5 4 months ago to R+1. Strong, clear messaging moved voters +9 towards Dems over the survey. PLUS NINE. More details in this🧵.

This is true worldwide:

Replying to @WayToWinAF
When framed as a choice, voters across key segments overwhelmingly picked a left leaning, inclusive populist worldview over the right's dark, obsessive and weird use of marginalized communities to generate a sense of threat and fear. Even in this terrain it's 59 to 37. +22!
