another way to put this - to be moderate is to support the status quo, broadly speaking. it's only a winning strategy if the electorate likes the status quo.
"voting for the status quo you dislike is better than voting for the other guys" isn't as compelling a pitch as Dem consultants think it is
"voting for the status quo you dislike is better than voting for the other guys" isn't as compelling a pitch as Dem consultants think it is
I actually think chucking out moderates will make Democrats *more* electable; nobody wants to vote for a party full of losers who don’t believe in anything

OK so:
1. Senate Democrats cave, pass "clean CR"
2. House Republicans amend the bill, pass a "conservative CR", toss it back to the Senate

No more “lesser of two evils” voter alignment. It’s a small thing you can do to send the DNC a message.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Millions of farmers, small business owners, and families are seeing their health insurance premiums skyrocket because Trump and Congressional Republicans refuse to come to the table and negotiate with Democrats.
Americans deserve better.

A deal that lets ACA credits expire fails the millions of families counting on us to keep their health care affordable.
Republicans have spent years trying to dismantle the ACA, and pretending Johnson will allow a vote on a clean ACA bill in the House is a fantasy.
I will be a no on this “deal.”

I’ve voted 7 times to reopen the government in a way that holds Trump accountable for his lawlessness and prevents a health care crisis.
I’m prepared to work toward a compromise, but this “deal” before us does not come close to meeting those terms. Voting NO.

they had to write it this way because of headline length limits in social media link cards
without that limitation, I'm sure they would have written something like "US citizen alleged to have been struck from behind by bullet at around the time of an encounter with federal law enforcement agents"

Big things might be happening in Christian Nationalism because of Tucker embracing Nick Fuentes and the Heritage Foundation picking his side. But there's some DEEP LORE to really get it. This thread explains it, but damn, it's some deep theology shit. Approach with caution.
This might actually be THE point where Christian Nationalism starts either splintering...or the NAR literally just joins with Christian Identity and REALLY returns to its roots
