It's so funny that there's absolutely no base of support for moderates and centrists outside of people who only have meta positions based on what they believe are popular.
No one real holds these issues but there are people who insist that others do so we must be moderate and centrist to win.

Would love to see someone from the moderate, Majority Dem faction really address and wrestle with the political effects of what Labour has been up to.

with Marjorie Taylor Greene being kind of a whack job and magic the gathering rolling every IP it can into the game, it’s taking longer and longer to decipher which one posts about “MTG” are actually referencing lately

Biggest issue I have with this analysis is that besides Clinton in '16 when was the last time a potential candidate who was the expected front runner this far out actually the nominee?
J-MART, on Newsom:
“.. Ask yourself: How many other potential candidates .. can transcend the political-pop culture divide ..?
“.. there may not be a modern political figure who was simultaneously so well-positioned to be his party’s nominee ..”

The thing I can't get over is how this, and how things like ending SNAP, are all policies a person would come up with if they wanted to destroy health insurance and grocery stores and other things everyone else who doesn't rely on the ACA and SNAP use.
Cassidy: "The president is proposing that we take the $26b that would be going to insurance companies if we just do an extension and give it directly to the American people in which 100% of the money is used for them to purchase healthcare on their own terms. That makes them an informed consumer."

I would simply not have people who look and sound like a Mark Proksch character represent me if I was president.
KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?
HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--
KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

I got it into my head that Glen Powell is either right wing or right wing coded because of some things I vaguely remember him saying about Twisters and that's basically the entire reason I won't go see the new Running Man.

All babies born should be confiscated by the state and parents should then be randomly given a new baby via a baby roulette wheel and over a few generations we can eliminate the ideology of racism
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

NEW: Before the recent Epstein disclosures, Larry Summers was poised to lead the economic policy plank for the Democrats' "Project 2029" effort at the Center for American Progress. He signed off on a housing policy paper CAP was prepping for next week.

line between resist libs and anti Trump leftists is that as an anti Trump leftist I don't really care about the new Syrian president having been a member of a terrorist organization and I think it's weird to point it out as an own on Trump

very real possibility we have MAGA types abandoning Trump and adopting Fuentes and outright antisemitism when they construct a belief that Epstein was a Mossad agent that entrapped all of the political and economic elites in the country right?

Not the biggest take away but reading the tone in these emails makes it very clear that Trump's utterly bizarre birthday message to Epstein was genuine.
