I think this, or something like it, is the real pathway to Democratic party brand renewal. Specific issue positioning is overrated; what people want is a sense that your party is on their team.

And Republicans have gone in a weird, creepy direction. Democrats need to reclaim the party of normal!
I would like the phrase and concept of "common decency" to make a comeback

For the past 34.5 years, common decency has been used as a weapon to promote bigotry and persecution of law-abiding Nudists.

In the last 3.5 years, that same exact phrase has been used to persecute women, LGBTQIA+ people, disabled people and men of color.

To be clear Bari Weiss doesn't want balance and neither do the people supporting her. They want a primarily conservative media environment.
A whole clump of people who should be liberal allies have been taught that participating in politics is vulgar, and so "Weiss has built a career on reframing accommodation as courage." And because faux-sophistication is what gets big funders excited, we are inundated with it.

I’ll say it again and again and again and again and again – and one of the hills I’ll die on:

Balanced coverage is NOT the job of the news media or the press.

Factual reporting is.

The conservative lamestream media (ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox and NBC) failed their mission.

While (of course) not everyone has been able to access the abortions they want, this data paints a promising picture of just how determined providers, patients, and activists are.

This is why conservatives are so pissed off about abortion pills!

Abortion pills are winning. The abortion rights & healthcare communities have come together to ensure patients can get the care they need despite Republicans’ draconian laws.

Democrats can’t meaningfully claim to oppose Donald Trump while simultaneously pushing bad internet bills like KOSA, EARN IT, Section 230 limitations, and online ID laws, that *empower* the Trump administration to further censor, surveil, and prosecute marginalized people.

The fines are way too light for these decet of companies.

And this should have been law long before this week given reports that social media corporations have the most child sexual abuse material.
