There’s this amazing kooky saga of how we basically turned into a world power by stealing all the bird poop in the pacific. This is true. This is a thing which really happened.

Or Canada and Mexico, which is odd for different reasons

As a reasonable moderate, of course I believe our taxes should fund universal healthcare.
As a true centrist, you already know I’m all about free K-16 with incentives for fields we’re in desperate need of.
As a middle of the roader, of course people should be able to identify as best suits them.

Same, to be honest! Still getting the hang of it

I think treating any of this as business as usual is a fatal mistake

I may have phrased that poorly — what I meant was that party leaders are, in many cases, trying to push a centrist or rightward pivot, thinking it will benefit the party, while actual Democratic voters are feeling very much the opposite. That mismatch troubles me, but I’m with the voters.

Pivot to the right? I certainly don’t advocate for that. Sorry — not sure I’m understanding you but would like to!

Worse still, these folks are swinging further towards the center while tens of millions of democratic voters are doing the opposite. The base is outraged, the Thought Leaders™️ are pitching milquetoast appeasement.

It’s good that people in the party are trying to find a better direction after an avoidable loss. It seems distinctly bad, though, that the conversation was so quickly hijacked by the same crew who steered the ship into that loss, and that their “vision” is a light rebranding at best.

I’ve been trying to figure out a good metaphor for this but the most succinctly I can put it right now is that we have a serious over-reliance on data-driven politics which seems to have cost us much of our human appeal.

The data is important! The idea that it can tell us everything and help us triangulate our positions to attract the ideal amount of voters has consistently proven wrong, though. Instead, it’s led us to a perfectly message-tested all-time low in our popularity, and that seems really bad.

The irony about this supposedly empirical approach to politics is that its purveyors are completely impervious to the dispassionate reality that it has never worked and its mass adoption has coincided with massive electoral declines for the party.
