Media ownership matters. Billionaires today influence democracies via control of modern media. Out of Twitter. Find me on Blue sci. SCOTUS delenda est.

Again, perhaps the best single critique of the abundist deregulatory agenda is: The last time we tried deregulation without reining in corporate power, we got mortgage cheating and big-bank profiteering and the 2008 financial crisis. "Abundance" has no answer to this.

the problem w/ “abundance” is that it’s either making claims so generic as to be incontestable (regulatory capture from reactionary forces is bad) or it’s making claims specific enough they quickly reveal the world’s most obvious billionaire-funded astroturfed deregulation agenda

I don’t think it’s healthy for a party leader who actively recruits candidates for the most important races in the country to think of himself this way.

@SamAdlerBell I don’t want to rain on the parade tonight but Jake Sullivan deserves a Halberstam book about his generational failures, not a podcast

lol, when it suits the popularists it’s ok to ignore popular things and messages that work

Eric Levitz@EricLevitz

If forced to choose between adopting economic policies that poll well -- and those most likely to actually work -- Democrats should ignore the polls, per @simon_bazelon vox.com/politics/46625…

Democrats should ignore wonks who offer an incorrect diagnosis of inflation in 2021-23. This take parrots standard right-wing talking points about "too much fiscal stimulus" and ignores critical role of global supply chain disruptions, hence inflation happening worldwide.

the backlash against the reduction of politics to data, yes

Jason Blakely@jasonwblakely

The backlash against wonkery and the reduction of politics to data isn't "anti-intellectual." It is the recovery of intellectualism against the wave of shallow, gamified casino-empiricism that has drowned our public discourse.

I spent the entire Biden presidency warning idiotic establishment Senate Dems and Biden who opposed getting rid of the filibuster that Trump and the GOP would come back to power and do it themselves. I hate to say I told you so but… I fucking told you so.

This should be the easiest ask. Moreover, Democrats should use the opportunity to say that Charlie Kirk had bad values and did bad things, and deserves no honor. Why is that hard? It’s the simple truth.

English

Eric Blair🔥🟧@protecttruth_·18 Eyl

Hearing that that Senate Republicans have a vote queued up today for a national day of remembrance for Charlie Kirk - and Dems can stop it by simply objecting. Will one of them do it? Word is that no Dems are saying they will object right now.

Janelle Stelson is running as a Dem, but she's pushing these pro-GOP messages and even though they poll well! — is hurting every other Democratic candidate. She's micro-optimizing for herself instead of thinking about beating Trump.

One of the things that gets me about guys like Yglesias is that they have an incredibly condescending view of what is an “real American.”

@Econ_Marshall I’m not as dark on this. Only identity is a consensus for Democratic *leadership* and if we are lucky it is the leadership that is doomed and a newer generation will drive for bigger coalitions and bigger change. Mamdani-Lander, maybe Platkin, MN, Seattle mayors, AOC: they can

“And if this were Jonathan Greenblatt’s last interview on any mainstream show—because if you lie this blatantly, there should be some consequence—then we could be getting somewhere, right?” Greenblatt could have been pushed out of the discourse yrs ago.
