the Democratic Party should have 2 major goals for the next time it holds power: (1) completely rebuild the destroyed federal government capacity, and (2) crush the GOP, which enabled so much corruption and immiseration. destroy their funding, jail their leaders, make it so a new party has to emerge

This is could well be a historic midterm for Democrats.
Don’t waste it on centrists who won’t come through when it matters. Run vocal progressives.
You won’t end Trumpism without anti-corruption crusaders and warriors for social and economic justice who believe in taxes & big, universal programs.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

Press has mentioned Troy Jackson and Joe Baldacci as potential ME-2 candidates.
Troy can’t transfer his gov campaign $, but if he ran, can see how he’d fit.
But what’s the rationale for Joe? Just don’t see one. He’s an establishment guy, not a leader. Bangor reps endorsed Dunlap. #mepolitics
