it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

would be easier to believe conservatives were radicalized by the murder of Charlie Kirk if they didn't seem equally radicalized by the announcement that Bad Buddy is performing at the Super Bowl

Since the Ezra & Ta-Nehisi discussion is still happening: the main point I think most are missing is that Klein is saying the role of the journalist-intellectual is to do strategic politics, whereas Coates says the role of the journalist-intellectual is to tell the truth

No Democrat who does this has any right to tell leftists to back the Democratic nominee for president no matter who it is. "Vote blue no matter who" has to go both ways.
After Zohran Mamdani scored a resounding victory in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary, some in his own party are strategizing about how to defeat him in November.

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?"
The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

I've said this a million times, but I'll say it again: it is truly striking how many Democratic politicians, pundits, and commentators have internalized the idea that the right shapes public opinion and it is the job of the left to respond to it.

"ai makes art accessible" is an argument i hate to my fucking bones. Art is EASILY accessible, I'd argue it's the cheapest most accessible hobby because all you need is a pen and paper.

Opposing the majority party is being the opposition party; signing on to what the majority party does makes you the junior partner in a governing coalition. When they succeed you get zero credit and when they fail you share blame. This isn’t hard, nor is it new ground.
Reminds me of the run-up to the Iraq War. Dems did not want to seem weak on an issue, and then when the public turned against it, they were as tied to it as Bush was.
Once officials do start rounding up immigrants, and the public responds, going to be hard for Dems to pin it on Trump.

Dems appear close to surrendering to Trump/GOP on the Laken Riley Act. Dem aides tell me they're particularly rankled with how Sens John Fetterman and Ruben Gallego rushed to endorse the whole bill. That undercut the potential to amend it later.

UPDATE: Tulsi Gabbard confirms Chris Rufo’s tweet. Lots of ambiguity about who “they” are — all participants in these chat rooms? just those who said inappropriate things? what exactly is inappropriate? — and what “action” will be taken.
