I am often frustrated by comfortable true blue democratic voters who don’t understand why so many millions of people have given up on the party.
LOOK AT IT.

It's perfect because people will go "well, okay, there's no way that guy could be a weird little pervert because that would be too obvious."
Chris Cuomo is trying to make this atrocious little mustache happen even though it looks like he drew it on with a ballpoint pen

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

I'm actually in the "let people suffer from GOP policies and actions" camp, I just think the Dems had stumbled into a scenario where the GOP entirely owned the problem and looked intransigent and they've replaced it by returning to the same old "Dems fold again" narrative that's been killing them.

will dems defund ICE or do anything about the rampant kidnappings and see some accountability for the law breaking? well, is anyone in leadership or with a major profile in the party talking about that? no? then the answer is “no”

my approach to political analysis is to listen to what political operators are saying, what issues they focus on, and take it seriously. it’s not particularly tough or sophisticated but it does seem to get to the right answer more often than not.

It's so funny that what they're discussing here is a doomed Senate vote on something the House will reject out of hand and there's still about a 50-50 chance Thune stabs them in the back just out of habit.
Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)

If I were an elected official for a political party I would simply not do things that I knew were going to specifically piss off my voters.
Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

Yeah, they're gonna elect Platner, Luigi Mangione's lawyer, and a creature called "Turbo Franken".
i am also previsaging in my brain palace that several deeply unfortunate people will win essentially fetterman-style: people are sick of dem leadership janking them around, and so they'll vote for people who talk, rather than believe, right. i see it as if it were my own hand in front of me rn.
