Not that she's my favorite or anything but a noticeable lack of "Spanberger could be president" stuff compared to how much "Youngkin could be president" stuff there was at the time, I wonder what could be different between the two

Totally agree and again I think the divide here is that centrists don’t even know that all they think about is elections. So it’s actually two different conversations, we’re like it would be bad if this happens and they’re like but this is a better message. It doesn’t matter, if they kill you!
Yet another example where the Left was mocked as shrill and alarmist at the time but was correct all along.
And soon to be another example of centrist pundits who were wrong changing their minds without facing any accountability or doing any reflecting on why they were wrong.

By now, asteroid 2026 Dreadstone has impacted the Indian Ocean, sparking a firestorm not seen on this planet since the K–Pg Extinction Event. Most people just want to be with their families. Here are three ways effective business leaders can leverage targeted KPIs to turn tragedy 😔 into triumph 💪

Spanberger is centrist but also clearly genuinely thinks Republicans are scum and for that she deserves plaudits
Wow
The night before Spanberger’s inauguration
She’s cleared house at UVA
Top Youngkin appointees resign
Spanberger should be able to easily replace them given Dem trifecta

Again I think VA could be a model for the nation, a purple state where Dems aren’t afraid to use power and where bad actors are removed from power, instead of keeping them there to protect conservative feelings

I've become the proverbial guy with the hammer vis-a-vis everything is a nail when it comes to my conviction that everybody is just taking credit for thermostatic shifts in public opinions that have nothing to do with them but WHY IT MATTERS starts when you realize the opposite of this is true
what the hell is this revisionist nonsense? This *did not happen*—except in the minds of the far-right. You're buying their bad faith bullshit. MAGA called for and now is building a white ethnostate b/c *they are white nationalists*. That's what they do. FFS

This is so important! The only strategy that a lot of Dems have on the national level is to try to get more Dems elected next time. Great! Fine! But we got problems now! If using this as a campaign ad gets in the way of doing something to stop or resist it, don't wait!
I think voting is incredibly important. This is why me and my friends have raised $1 million for voting rights.
I think if the ONLY THING you are talking about right now is people voting, you have lost the plot.

A statement from 201 concerned faculty about U.Va. President Beardsley’s appointment
By acting in bad faith, the Board has flouted its fiduciary duties to the University and has violated its own bylaws calling on it to protect the University from outside interference.

The 2016 primary has had such a toxic legacy in this country. So many people still think of the difference between one kind of dem and another in terms of affect, do they SEEM radical or not radical. So not only is the whole political strategy space occupied by ppl who think not seeming radical

I increasingly think that a big part of the reason the Dems are the way they are is that they take credit forfor thermostatic shifts in opinion. They think they win bc of their tight messaging even though they lost just as often, they just blame that on not having tight messaging that time

Increasingly, I think "the Dems taking personal credit for shifting thermostatic opinion" is a huge part of the story of the last twenty years. Obviously, any gains in November will be because everyone fucking hates Trump. And that's the strategy problem. But there's also this practical problem.
No! The criticism of the Dems isn't that they never win elections, it's that they don't use power to solve the problems that got us here. Elite impunity, concentration of wealth, the unitary executive. Winning is only step 1
New - Chuck Schumer to haters: “The answer to these critics is to win. If we win back the Senate, that will answer every question"
Peltola “was the last piece to the puzzle"
He says Dem path to Senate is Ohio, Alaska, Maine and NC. Dems are watching Texas/Iowa
