"The idea, heard today among the “popularist” crowd, is that messaging should be constantly tweaked to fit whatever happens to be polling well. More successful parties, like the Republicans, understand that they have a substantial ability to affect what polls say." prospect.org/politics/202...

It would be nice to, just once, have one of the many prominent Christian zionist politicians here explain why Israel's behavior here is justified. They love to crow about Christians being oppressed all the time! Here's a great chance to address that.

Abuses of the tax code was one of the items in the original impeachment case against Nixon. Using the tax code to selectively target enemies - and decimate civil society - is the next step in the authoritarian agenda.

Do not let James Lindsay (or Richard Hanania) into our tent. They are not new allies, they haven't changed their ways, they are committed Nazis who see the tide turning and want to take the uniform off so they can hide among the winners.

I think what happened is basically that a bunch of consultants misread the rightward swing among Gen Z last election as a permanent vibe shift which is why the weaseliest Dems sprinted to do podcasts with hitlerites instead of waiting three months for trump to fuck everything up like he always does

Apparently, in direct contradiction to Alito's dissent and in direct contradiction to statements from the Trump administration, there's evidence now that ICE WAS trying to put detainees on airplanes on Friday night before the courts could rule. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

Trump has pretty good instincts about when he's going to be in trouble, politically or otherwise, so him explicitly giving himself plausible deniability now in his statements should be interpreted as an acknowledgment that he sees some danger in the policy in general & re Abrego Garcia specifically

I won't speak for others but I want candidates who won't just win the next election but aggressively, unapologetically destroy trumpism and rebuild everything he's broken. If you're too afraid of a 51-49 poll to even talk about an issue I have no faith that will be you

If you run charmless candidates who believe in nothing you will constantly find yourself substituting tactics for values and of course you'll have no room for error. If you have candidates who actually give a shit and act like it you'll be amazed the "errors" voters would be willing to ignore

John Brown was hanged at 11:15 a.m on December 2, 1859. His last words were: “I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think, vainly flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.”

Legit the best thing any Dem has done to date in response to Trump and it happened because he cared more about serving his constituents than public polling about immigration.

Trump's counterterrorism czar Sebastian Gorka suggests opposition to their immigration policy is "aiding and abetting" terrorists. "And you have to ask yourself: are they technically aiding and abetting them? Because aiding and abetting criminals and terrorists is a crime in federal statute."
