I know this is old news and has probably already been said but I've actually never seen a show that was a bigger waste of the time and talents of everyone involved in making it than No Good Deed on Netflix. I watched the entire thing a few months ago and it's really sunk in how awful it was.

not to beat a dead horse but they do this not out of some belief about maximizing electoral returns but out of an aversion to rhetorically committing themselves to doing something about epstein/corruption/ICE/whatever other issue they’re avoiding, should they win power back
The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...
Force A Referendum On The Epstein Coverup
It divides Republicans much more than "affordability" or any other economic issue.

This is a yikes too. He gets dogwalked by Susan Collins even though Generic Dem has a 9 pt margin.
What I find funny is that the median Maine voter sees his tattoo and comments about sexual assault as a non-starter but we had how many people defending that shit here on Bluesky?

when your vote is so toxic you have the Chair of the DNC saying this shit sucks, you really have to admire the levels of embarrassment here
As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

The way we talk about the economy as positioned the losses of workers as male losses, wrong and threatening because of the way they endanger male status. But women are workers, too, and they deserve dignity and decent wages.

People wildly overestimate the economic security experienced by past generations. There's no period in American history where significant numbers of young people were just handed high paying jobs. Nostalgia for a time that never existed is a huge problem.
Why Nikki Haley’s son went radical: His generation inherited insecurity.
I profile Nalin Haley, a fascinating young man, who I believe will likely play an important role in conservative politics in years to come.

Virginia Republicans leaned hard into anti-trans propaganda as part of their main messaging in the final months of this campaign.
It fell completely flat with voters. It did not resonate. Virginia Republicans came across as bizarre and detached from working class families.

Klein is right that Dems have to win in red states and that the party should be engaging in some soul-searching right now.
But the soul-searching should begin with basic facts. Moderation *is* the current strategy and Dems are losing despite having a popular agenda. More of the same won't fix it.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

I have a lightning hot take which is that I think there's a large chance that Taylor Swift is more interested in visual storytelling at this phase of her career and has not been able to get a foothold in filmmaking and that's why we're getting good but not great musical work from her

the reaction to the new taylor album is interesting because it is exactly the same as the reaction to reputation (too petty, too cringe, awful lyrics) which is now considered a popular and well-received album. the cycle continues!

25% of US women have at least one abortion by age 40; tens of millions of women of childbearing age live in states where abortion is banned; tens of thousands have had their lives warped by forced pregnancy. Our leading pundits don’t even think it is important enough to be minimally competent about.
