Atlanta is farther west than Cleveland.

You're not contradicting the excerpt. It says they didn't have a "strategy to get what they said they wanted." They said they wanted the subsidies, not make Republicans look bad. It's insane to not count the latter as a win even if you don't say that out loud, but senior Senators have broken brains.

do i think the institutional democratic party would do better with a more populist economic message? yes. but there is the problem of getting voters to *hear* it and to *believe* it and that is where i think attention should go.

Reasonable point, but then this would imply that the Dems should pound the GOP on environmental regulation, which you said Dems should not do because the public is not on their side. Not hating, just earnestly seems like a danger to cherry-pick polls to support focusing on any issue.

At the school bus stop this morning, a parent in the military said that their general was glad they didn't get an extra star so they didn't have to attend this bullshit.

The problem is that most of the "price-gouging landlords and real estate investment tycoons" are regular American homeowners who have a lot of their wealth tied up in their homes and are desperate for their home value to be as high as possible.

It doesn't even make sense in the context of the tweet. Both the map and the chart are election results, if the Democrats stole elections then the map would look different!

Thanks. My question was in earnest, it sounded weird to me but since I hadn't seen it mentioned anywhere I wondered if that detail was actually normal.

I don't understand, besides Jeffrey Goldberg, why was the Secretary of the Treasury on a group chat about military operations? Is it just me or isn't that also pretty weird?

One thing I'm confused by that I haven't seen anyone point out: why was the Secretary of the Treasury on the group chat? What does he have to do with military operations?
