There are definitely people who take Vance seriously. I don't think they're a particularly large faction, but the most definitely exist. The problem is in the primary it's going to be very hard to candidates to distinguish themselves from each other, because they won't be able to distance themselves much at all from Trump. So it's probably going to be personality war and all-out fight for Trump's endorsement. The war and economy will matter in the general, but I don't know how much they'll matter in the primary.

@iEricKohn I don’t think anyone in the party takes Vance seriously enough for him to be the nominee. I would have said Rubio too but he’s going to be tied to an unpopular war and the economy just by being part of the administration

Most voters don’t give a crap about Democrat or Republican. They want good people who aren’t batcrap crazy or steeped in partisan tribalism. They want people willing to put all that shit aside and work to make our lives, environment, and economy better. Not sure that exists
Sarah Longwell@SarahLongwell25

At some point Dems are going to have to grapple with the reality that in the face of all of Trump and Republicans’ manifest horribleness and incompetence, people aren’t rushing toward the Democrats. If you think the DSA stuff is helping, you’ve never talked to a swing voter.

@NYRChip23 I'm curious, too. But I really doubt it's DeSantis. I think it comes down to Vance or Rubio.

@iEricKohn I’m very curious to see who comes out of the GOP primary to replace Trump. My guess is DeSantis. He’s not part of the administration so can’t be dragged into what they’ve done, but he’s enough of a Trump sycophant to garner some MAGA support and also establishment support

100% on the last point. We have a post-McCain/Feingold problem of very weak parties, and primaries are an enormous problem because of it. I half agree on the first point. Biden primarily ran to not be Trump and to not be erratic in the middle of a global pandemic. That was enough to win. And then a bunch of people told him he could be FDR (which was insane; FDR had enormous majorities in both chambers and Biden had razor-thin majorities) and pissed people off almost immediately because of it. Both parties are trying to be 50%+1 parties, get in, and then govern simultaneously like they'll be in power forever and they'll never be in power again. Neither is even trying to be a 60% majority party.

@iEricKohn I think it’s a little chicken/egg thing. In 2020 Biden ran center/left which was enough for independents and moderate Republicans to vote for him. If the choice is between far left and far right then political tribalism rules. Which is why primaries are such a big problem.

I am genuinely curious how these people think film criticism works. Like, do we get bonuses based on the number of stars we give a title? If we write a negative review despite taking the cash, does Warner Bros. have someone break our legs?
