@beyonddc Part of it is the gradual building over decades. Gives you a mix of uses rather than the one in market demand at one time.

@RabbiSamStern Because Bibi and many of his political allies put their own political interests ahead of Israel's security.

@nicoleamurray Prime movers of zoning in 1920s & 30s were real estate industry & Hoover. Liberals & left cheered them on equally. Since 1960s & especially since 2015 liberals have become more & more critical of it while far left has defended it in alliance with rich cetrist homeowners.

@AlecMacGillis @CaitlinPacific I wrote about this phenomenon in 2003. My example then was Kathleen Townsend's MD gov campaign
Pro-corporate Dems can't run on economics, so they wind up falling back on identity issues. dissentmagazine.org/article/democr…

@UrbanLandRent Marx thought that the working class had to mature and organize and educate itself before it could effectively wield power. He fiercely opposed utopianism.

These guys view the Yeoman Settler/ Car Dealer the same way Marx viewed the working class lol

Getting the sense Jeffersonian Nationalist think tankers don’t have a coherent model of political economy.

@NickyFrank30 Bill Clinton 1992 combined populism and centrism. He had political genius, but the task gets easier as the culture automatically assumes leftism is cultural.
Bernie 2016 took off because he talked populist economics & Hillary attacked him from the identity left.

@nextdoorsv Okay, a reall person, but one posting talking points from somewheere elsr and not his own takes.
English
@nextdoorsv A dead giveaway this is a fake account. A voter named Cohen, R or D, would not name "christians" as the discriminated-against category.

@NickyFrank30 This has been fenied on the record by the father.

Disagree. When populist rhetoric is tied directly to partisanship, it loses power.
CWCP tested a Strong Populist text, attacking "big corporations and the politicians in Washington who serve them" and a partisan Soft version, denouncing "Donald Trump and his friends on Wall St"

@Aarondklein The one constant in WaPo endorsement editorials is that the reason for the endorsement that they give to readers is never the real reason.

@karpmj Because the people who care a lot about Elon are mostly his fans.

Characteristically though, the liberal attack on this so far has been about its legality, rather than the abject and humiliating politics.
Musk's approval rating is already lower than Trump or even JD Vance. Why not make him the face of the campaign? x.com/Redistrict/sta…

Helpful finding from @NBCNews September poll: Elon Musk’s national fav/unfav is at 34%/45%, including an anemic 31%/36% among independents. nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna1…

Revolting plutocratic theater. Million-dollar checks for lucky MAGA proles on stage is like something from DeVito's Penguin in Batman Returns.
If Dems can't close this race with "creepy global billionaire is buying the election" they deserve their fate
