This gets at the core problem the Democrats have right now: Consultants keep telling them to focus on ‘kitchen table issues’ but they don’t have an inspiring kitchen table agenda! ‘Expanding drug price negotiation’ is technocratic and taxing the wealthy is something they refuse to deliver on.
Okay, let's get into the text...
Here are their bullet point recommendations: Talk about the economy! Don't talk about immigrants or climate or "social issues!" Criticize the ultra-wealthy, but in a very-not-socialist sort of way!
This is... just popularism? Didn't we already do this?

So expand the lanes! The problem is bikes and pedestrians fighting over like 12% of street space when the vast majority is dedicated to cars
Sure there is.
If you don't limit e-bikes, they will wreak havoc on bike-only lanes.

lotta people's thoughts on protests right now coming out to be "they're okay but you shouldn't do them during campaign season" and there's a lot of obvious ways that's bullshit but right now my mind is on how presidential campaigns are now like a year and change long

The woke college students were right but we can't acknowledge this because then we'll have to consider whether they're right about other things too. That I'm a big stupid moron for instance
It is pretty noticeable that even as mainstream opinion on Israel and Gaza finally shifts, you don’t hear the Responsible Adults apologizing for punishing all the college kids protesting the atrocities. Quite the opposite in fact!

people who say "i'll never vote for party A unless they give me X, Y and Z" understand and are participating in democracy. anyone who is like "i will vote for party A under any circumstances no matter what" may as well have a king

when you, years out from an election, say "i will vote for that triangulating shitbag throwing minorities under the bus because they'll still be better than the other guy" you need to understand that the triangulating shitbag is Watching You: "they'll still vote for me! no need to change course!"

Our grandkids are going to be flabbergasted looking back on this. Is a genocide happening? Yes. Are the people carrying it out murdering aid workers and starving children? Yes. Are they being aided by the US? Yes.
And yet all anyone talks about is the motives and tactics of the people opposing it.

seeing liberals celebrating the death of children because 56% of voters where the children lived voted against their team is always disturbing. you come to expect that sort of thing from the open fascists, it's extra disheartening seeing the libs do it
