this btw is the framing that's getting a lot of traction with my normie friends. The house GOP is trying to repeal Obamacare, dems are saying no and so the GOP shut the government down to try and get the dems to cave; trump is too busy caring about the ballroom.
Trump is checked out and the GOP in Congress has ideological commitments to fucking healthcare

In many ways Obamacare now simply means "the status quo of American Healthcare" which also explains when lefties complain about it not working despite knowing jack about pre-ACA healthcare.

Modern authoritarians seldom cancel elections, because they prefer the veneer of democratic choice that voting provides, and because they can tilt the playing field toward themselves. “No one likes an election better than Vladimir Putin,” the Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias told me.
North Carolina Is the Canary in the Election Coal Mine
Americans don’t have to imagine what attempts to subvert an election could look like, because it’s already happening in one state.

So much talk about "working-class" voters becomes a discussion of how to accommodate and reinforce misogyny and bigotry in order to win elections. "Working-class" in these discussions invariably means men (usually white men). If those are the voters you're trying to reach, just be honest about it.

New polls from Gallup, YouGov, and out of Virginia show voters now trust Democrats more than Republicans to handle the economy. Nationally, Dems now have a 4-point margin on the issue — an 18-point shift away from Trump since 2023. Time to update your priors

Bernie Sanders has always been a snake in the grass. He dismisses racism as subsumed by socioeconomic issues. The opposite is true: in the U.S., race controls.
@Sanders.senate.gov simply refuses to understand this historic fact. He has repeated the exact same race-free talking points for decades.

Stop treating Ezra Klein like a liberal. He promotes and normalizes the radical right while constantly criticizing the left. The "compromise" he and his ilk want is surrender. On race. Abortion. Voting rights. Human rights. He's just another elite who has chosen comfort and security over integrity.
