David Jolly: "The problem in this environment is not that I used to be a Republican. It's that Byron Donalds still is one."

There is no room in their worldview for the possibility that democracy itself might have intrinsic value as a low-danger way to implement and correct policies. They think policies govern on their own, rather than through people and process agreements.

At least as bad. He cant get any worse about it.

Why do you think no one should try to reach them? Your attitude is why Democrats failed to compete in the South for decades. It was a grave mistake. I'm grateful that Talarico, Warnock, Ossoff, and organizers like Stacy Abrams refused to write people and regions off.

Matthew Sheffield@matthew.flux.community

They were victims of a media environment negligent Democrats let happen. Republicans acted and Democrats didn't in response. Democratic Party leaders have agency. They can and should make better decisions.

I mean Dems have done a bang up job. Elevating Trump and loosing to home twice, almost 3 times. Truly a record to be proud of. Overseeing $50 trillion moving from the bottom to the top in as many years, the lowest labor power and highest inequality in history. But the Dem pols are all rich 🤷‍♂️

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

Do you think it improves the party's image in the eyes of those independents who think Democrats are controlled opposition if they see *no objections within the party* to behaving like you care more about being friends with Republicans than stopping them? That's the votes that were at stake.

The people who sat out because of the Cheney endorsement WERE NOT DEMOCRATS! They were independents who aren't votes you can count on. Who are votes you have to earn. Leftists voted for Harris at a higher rate *even while criticizing Cheney* than the centrists who liked the Cheney endorsement!

Something is off with Trump tonight. The gaffes, the glitches, the confusion are well beyond his usual. "They gave the wonderful peace prize, right? Does anybody know the name of that peace prize? They gave the Pulitzer Prize to a young lady."

Humble Novice@humblenovice.bsky.social

Honestly, I think some people just want to angrily vent and lash out instead of engaging in more meaningful discussions concerning progressive politics. It's a sad state of affairs, but this is the hand we have been dealt with due to the algorithm feeding on outrage over reasoning.

White House sources explain the change mainly due to the great weight that President Trump gave to the assessments and intelligence that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth presented to him upon his return from the meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu.-Haaretz

I already specifically told you in advance that it's not a metaphor for a particular behavior, it is a completely different bad behavior substituted in to make the principle clearer.

It’ll end when mainstream dems stop punching left and courting the center right that will never vote for them

Oliver Willis@owillis.bsky.social

I’m most upset at the right and the media but I have enough anger left over for the democrats who enabled this shit. From Obama and Clinton turning the page to Biden praising McConnell, punting on prosecuting and welcoming Trump back and Harris palling around w Cheney. All of it.

Aubrey Gilleran@aubreygilleran.bsky.social

Not the point, but I’m dying at the idea that Trump has “turned into a politician like the rest of them” when he is truly sui generis in his corruption, incoherence and lawlessness. If only he were just a median Republican.
