I’m not sure what you mean by this. If you’re saying this means he wasn’t politically motivated, I’d argue the “manosphere” is a pretty distinct political identity.

This is true but I also think we’d all be a lot better off not trying to engineer our preferred electoral outcome 4 years out by trying to psycho analyze whatever a swing voter is in PA.

Empathy for others is critical. But this kind of thought process is really bad over the long term.

Voters don’t need to be coddled. 49% of the country voted one way and 48% another. Those 49% should own their vote.

It’s understandable. It also feels like Dems could regain some trust with some form of amnesty.

But hard on the border feels like a huge pre-rec for the next decade.

I did and I am aware.

He did this in round 1 with timber. He’s gonna do it, it’s just a matter of how long they’re gonna last.

So long as he’s actually back to 100%, play him.

We built the pts buffer so we can think about the playoffs. Use it.

Messaging is going to be the hardest part. How do you convince the unaffiliated/moderate that Dems aren’t crazy?

Harris said the right things but was dodged by the past. The messengers need to be free from baggage going forward.

But I do agree the best path for competent, local democratic governance. Which I think the article notes is a roughly fine package with some poison pills inside.

Change, yes. However it’s really difficult for me to draw policy related conclusions given the down ballot results. Specifically that local/state held steady in what should have been a bloodbath.

Prez was inflation, inflation, inflation.

I never realized Gandalf always sends for backup when he’s in trouble. But he’s always got a moth handy.

Sure. But then they just need to ignore the question and tout louder.

Long gone are the politics that follow an Aaron Sorkin script.

Aside from messaging, I feel like this is also why my personal general anxiety level has risen. Good reminder to touch grass every now and then.

Not lies so much as shamelessly touting what we did so people know why they’re better off.

That, and don’t throw groups under the bus.
