so much of the exact issue in democratic politics right now is strategists still trying to act like it’s 2006

NEW: In 2024, Wes Moore went on a limb siding with Reid Hoffman and other big donors who wanted Lina Khan out at the FTC. Hoffman has backtracked, but Moore still won’t answer questions about Lina Khan - and he’s been asked, repeatedly. New from @LabyrinthPol labyrinthinsights.com/insigh…

“The lesson isn’t that every voter is secretly a socialist. It’s that the center of public opinion is not synonymous with the center of the political establishment.” — @ryanodonnellpa in @thehill today
Just because voters identify as “moderate” does not mean they are clamoring for conventional centrism. Most want candidates who will challenge billionaires and the political establishment. New op-ed from our Executive Director @ryanodonnellpa: thehill.com/opinion/campaign…

after balanced arguments, flock cameras are unpopular across party lines
Replying to @DataProgress
Unfavorable attitudes toward Flock cameras carry across party lines. After reading a brief description of Flock cameras, voters, including Republicans, have a negative view of the technology. Those views hold even after reading arguments supporting and opposing the cameras.

You cannot promise to fight the status quo while defending the incrementalism that sustains it. And you cannot credibly run as a populist champion for the working class while taking money from the same powerful interests you promise to fight.

centrists adopting radical policies would require them to abandon both their ideology and their donor base
“Young people don’t love socialism, they just love bold, radical policies, so if centrists and moderates just adopted bold, radical policies, those candidates would get more traction.” Just incredible politics-understanders on Vox dot com LMFAO

wow, it's almost like capitulating to conservatives on this issue has created the perfect wedge for republicans to further divide the democratic base on!
NBC News: Key Democrats oppose transgender athletes in female sports as issue hits the campaign airwaves In at least five battleground races — campaigns for governor in Ohio, Nevada and Iowa and Senate races in Iowa and Texas — Democratic candidates have declared their opposition to transgender athletes competing in women’s and girls sports, a pivot from their party’s long-standing position of inclusion for trans athletes.
