We ousted NYC's clown mayor and elected Zohran. Next up: taking the fight to Albany and flipping Congress.

As someone active in both NYC-DSA and NY WFP, I can affirm: both are essential to the Left's success.
NYC-DSA consistently cultivates the NYC Left's strongest primary campaigns and advances a clear vision for socialism.
NY WFP coheres the progressive Left ecosystem to make socialist wins possible.

Back when Eric Adams just a racist corrupt cop mayor, i took the advice of guys like Greg and @bdlimm.bsky.social and joined WFP to work on ousting him. I firmly believe the D.R.E.A.M. play the WFP ran in the primary was how we got Zohran.
If you’re in NY, you absolutely should follow and join the efforts of the @nywfp.bsky.social. They are ACTIVE and ON THE BALL and a big part (along with many other parts) of how Mamdani won.

This is a good time to join the WFP @workingfamilies.org I'm a broken record and if they ain't going to learn they need to learn by us not cooperating with their party anymore and building a political force that is so big that can hold different tenants but still have values.

Old enough to remember the "steep cost" and "lack of preparation time" for Newsom and CA Dems to launch a Prop 50 campaign
Not to over-meta stuff, but the redistricting fight is a glaring example of how so much Republican strategy revolves around assuming Democrats won’t fight back. They truly didn’t fathom that California and certainly now Virginia will retaliate, and they have realized immediately they are now fucked.

Evergreen: there has never been and never will be a credible Trump/GOP Congress plan to repeal & replace the ACA. The only plan has always been repealing/deeply cutting the ACA coverage expansions & cutting rest of #Medicaid to help pay for tax cuts for the wealthy. That’s what HR 1 did this summer.

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”
It’s very telling that opening your publication to MAGA “thought” requires a massive downgrade in quality control.

My response to the NYT’s “moderate to win” argument: The data shows the strategy is tapped out. Being seen as moderate by voters doesn’t boost votes, replacing every progressive with moderates would net 0 seats, and the graveyard of defeated D incumbents if full of moderates, not progressives.
The New York Times Argues “Moving to the Center Is the Way to Win.” But the Data Shows the Strategy Is Tapped Out.
Democrats already run moderates in nearly every swing district. It's not enough. A data-driven response to the case for centrism as a core electoral strategy.

Everyone's got their sweet spot -- this post is the ultimate "smash that heart button" for me
Worth occasionally mentioning again that the only immigration crisis in the United States is the severe dearth of immigration the country experiences, owing to absurdly difficult legal standards for immigration that none of our grandparents were held to. The country is empty.
