One thing of note is that the Trump era has unironically third-worldized my conservative pro-Trump dad.

Just ruined a polling company’s sample by indicating that I was a young non-Italian white evangelical Christian who identifies as “somewhat liberal” and wants progressive policies, but finds candidate messages on progressive policies insincere. Also I live in New Jersey again.

unironically Democrats should hit hard on Trump’s pardons, and link it to crime, say he pardoned thousands of criminals, some of whom were copkillers and child-diddlers. Probably would be unpopular with a lot of leftwing folk on here though

This works and all if you forget that the current system is proportional allocation
Democratic politicians and activists are quietly lobbying to upend the way the party picks its presidential nominee by urging the use of ranked-choice voting.

I think the fact that Bill + Hillary Clinton, Gore, Kerry and Obama were much further personally left than publicly politically has led a lot of leftfolk to assume that every politician is to the left of what they say, and they’re running against a wall now that that is no longer true

You, broke: opposes PE in healthcare bc it hurts le workers

Going to pause on my typical lawyer hating to note that, while economists are right on most topics, they have a laughably idiotic and childish understanding of “insider trading” and that is one of the few places where lawyers are genuinely more correct than their detractors

Extremely hot take, but Mamdani’s “broad popularity” stems from his social/cultural liberalism and not his economic leftism.
