What if D's were to try something similar to Gingrich's wildly successful "Contract with America" in the 90s? Find 10 "80%" issues that align with the party platform that 80% of American citizens agree with. If the left has, say, 5 of those, but 5 are more centrist, does this alienate?

It's very difficult to say what a "centrist" is during this massive political realignment. For example, if you believe societal laws need to progress with society, but carefully & in step with established law & institutions, you are a Burkeian conservative- yet I'd argue that is a center-left now.

A Bard would come to the City, everyone would come from miles around to Acropolis, and in the center, the Bard would śpit mad rhythm and rhyme for hours, night after night: Sing O Muse…

The Iliad and The Odyssey are literally Epic raps. In hexameter. Sing, O Muse, of Rage…

12/ And many will. Just like last time, people will weary of these antics. Unlike last time, in the next year 1/2 Trump will have few checks, and will do broad spectrum damage. Let us focus on the places where we can do good and prevent harm. Do not waste energy on the impotent rage-as they intend.

11/ As a final note, that 53% is a temporary snapshot. Resist the urge to see fellow citizens as enemies. Some are conned, some are true believers & some are unaware - it matters not. Harris was and is right, couple a joyful fighting spirit compassion & kindness, ready to welcome any who see light

10/ As Sarah Isgur rightfully pointed out on @npr.org's Left Right and Center, we need to distinguish smoke from fire. Look at what Trump and his soldatos and underbosses actually do and can do, not everything they as bait or zone flooding bullshit. Canada a 51st state is the latter.
Can we make sense of Trump and Musk’s political approaches?
KCRW unravels a disruptive White House week. Is the president just stirring outrage? Plus, we discuss Elon Musk’s influence on the foreign aid fight.
