Democrats and the center left globally are in the unenviable position of defending our institutions while everyone agrees that they do not produce good results.
There is no constituency for business as usual in our politics, and our corporate-captive center left parties cannot deliver change.
As I see it, Stewart helped trump get elected by saying both sides are the same. He played down how bad it would be if Trump became president. He actually said it wouldn’t be that bad. I think he’s a traitor
Without effective leadership, and with so many bad acts by Trump and his minions, despite so many opponents, the efforts are going to feel disjointed, disorganized, and poorly directed.
I just read Tressie McMillan Cottom's column in the NYT, and she used the term "Overton window". How many people who aren't online know what that means? I'm online a lot and I still have to look it up every time.

The results are often esoteric, but that doesn't mean they're not good results.
Trump and MAGA don’t do well against smart comedians.
He needs to check back out like he did in 2016.
