Zohran's relentless disciplined campaign was truly impressive - he brought every message/issue back to the cost of living and built a model for what bringing attention to a positive affordability message can look like

And it worked! Voters understood that he was focused on their wallets, and saw him as more in line with their top priorities than national democrats. He dodged the "crowding out" problem that dilutes Democratic focus on pocketbook issues.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Populism is a rhetorical style that goes after elites (including corporations, billionaires, etc), and it's extremely effective.
Bernie/AOC/Mamdani are left wing populists on the economy and health care. It's quite popular and other Democrats should emulate it!

why are people on the left using "populist" in a positive way now, you shouldn't want your politicians to be populists, "populism" isn't good

I don't care about the East wing demolition. I do wonder if there will ever be an opposition party politician who will say if you put me in power I will demolish whatever he creates.

If we have to call populism "angry centrism" to get them to do it, then ok.

Gentle reminder that polls don't gauge what is ethical or just. A poll about how "most Americans" feel about trans healthcare is simply a way to understand how effective media and religious campaigns have been in their transphobia.

If you don’t already, I highly recommend following Ken Klippenstein to stay informed on U.S. National Security, and the attacks against American Citixens.
Also, if you haven’t already, reading Project Esther is a MUST. It’s the follow up to Project 2025.

This administration has been, by far, the most censorial administration in my lifetime. They're punishing people for speech about Palestine, about Charlie Kirk, about ICE, about the President. It's been nonstop attacks on speech.

California has now banned algorithmic price fixing.
The state has outlawed the practice of landlords colluding to raise prices using rental software and AI.
This is a huge victory for renters in the biggest state in the country.

Right-wing figures like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, and MTG have all been running to the left on foreign policy and are a mixed bag of semi-left wing opinions.
All of them have followings made up of normal people who could easily swing left if the left tried to organize them.
