I'm regularly amazed that people are amazed that Trump is flouting and threatening democracy and democratic institutions. Lest we forget, THE MAN TRIED TO OVERTHROW THE ELECTED GOVERNMENT OF THE U.S.A.
None of this is surprising. . .

My regular reminder that Dems won among "working class" voters (and this notion Trump championed working class is, ah, baffling). Oh, Dems won working class voters OF COLOR, It's the white voters who went R, as they have since LBJ signed '65 Voting Rts Act. . .

Surprised to see Al From still commanding attention abt Dem Party direction. He founded Democratic Leadership Council in 1985 & blamed Jesse Jackson and the demand for racial justice for Dem Party loss. We called DLC -- Dems for Leisure Class #themorethingschange

WHAT IF IT'S AS SIMPLE (AND COMPLICATED) AS SEXISM?
•What if sexism's the most accurate election explanation?
•Explaining the decline in Dem vote, the shifts in ALL racial groups (pls don't scapegoat POC)
•The excuses & vote increase for a sexual predator
Where are the think pieces on THAT?

My latest for @theguardian.com There needs to be a reckoning in Dem politics, and a large part of that is holding accountable the failed Dem SuperPAC strategy by Future Forward that failed to invest in getting out the Dem vote

The Democrats’ next campaign should appeal to their base, not swing voters | Steve Phillips
Democratic strategists want to ‘persuade’ over voters. But the real problem is Democratic voters not showing up to polls

Your (regular) reminder that the biggest story of the 2024 election is the drop in Democratic voter turnout NOT a mass defection of voters to Trump. The Dem decline was nearly THREE TIMES as large as Trump's increase

A bit of context:
•Many writers, including Tom Edsall of @nyt-first-said.bsky.social write that Dems need to distance themselves from "unpopular progressive policies."
•60.3% of the voters opposed the anti-slavery candidate in 1860
•Should Lincoln have distanced himself from abolition?
