  1. This post deserved more love. “Moderate” implies that the real world exists in the same universe as bizarro world, and it does not. The problem with the Reaganomics a lot of you grew up believing in is not that the GOP has taken it too far- the problem is that it was based on a fantasy and never worked. It’s the same reason I jumped on @TwiceHorn for saying the 2017 trade war with China sort of worked. That’s “moderate” framing. Democrats cannot be moderate in the fight for the integrity of the constitution and the non-negotiable rights and dignity of every human being who lives under its remit. We fight for the real human beings that inhabit the real world of factual reality, and in this moment that is very radical indeed.
  2. Dems made three big mistakes with Tim Walz 1) they overplayed the word “weird,” because they didn’t understand that there was nothing special about it- the magic was just the refreshing sound of plain, unrehearsed speaking in politics. 2) they apologized for his misstatements and got on the back foot about his rank at retirement. They should have attacked and shamed the media whenever they asked about it. 3) He didn’t light up JD Vance the way Tim Ryan did.

  4. You’re a very decent human being @pyrohornIII
  5. An actual conversation I have had in real life: Me: “Texas Democrats need to focus their campaigns on the shittiness of GOP incumbents and tangible problems only state and local government can fix.” Affluent progressive TravCo Democrat: “oh sure, but you would just erase trans kids and BIPOCS.” We can talk and chew gum at the same time. Putting majoritarian issues at the center of your political campaign does not require the party to sacrifice the wellbeing of marginalized populations, it does the opposite; only by winning majorities can Democrats protect and advance the interests of marginalized groups.
  6. @pyrohornIII - how should we feel about this?
  7. She lives in Trump Tower. The last time I stayed around the corner at the Central Park Hotel on 59th, a couple members of the Secret Service details were in the elevator bitching being treated like servants and gofers.

  11. Robert Garcia making this too exciting
  12. Mine only went up $7. I’m not sure if I’ll renew tho. The only person who wants to go with me lives in the UK!
  13. We renewing our season tix or ?
  14. Have we ever considered that she and Catgirlkulak are the same person?
  15. Petty beefs, basically
  16. My man there are homeless people camped in the parking lot of the police HQ. It’s hard to argue they are doing their best. But, yes- absolutely Greg led the effort to rescind the ban. Which is kind of my point that was absolutely a social justice cause that was driven by affluent Democrats, who are very out of touch with the reality of chronic homelessness. And since the lives of working class people are more directly impacted by that reality, he missed the mark. But importantly, he emerged somewhat unscathed, an incredibly valuable skill!
  17. I’m not sure I understand. Do you think Greg Casar is Hispanic?
  18. Well OK. I mean, that seems more like “the idea of Greg Casar” than the actual Greg Casar. But I do like him, and more importantly, he wins.
  19. Related to the Hogg thing: right now a small group of traditional Austin Democrats are very quietly feeling around for a “moderate” to primary Greg Casar. Somehow my name came up as a possible supporter or even challenger. What I told them was that even though Greg Casar‘s ideology is not the model for what Democrats need nationally, purging well liked incumbents who represent their district well in a misguided attempt to enforce some kind of hypothetical majoritarian ideological baseline is exactly what we don’t need to do. If someone thinks they can do the job better than Casar, they should run. But I’m not going to participate as a donor or opponent in an attempt to take him down because he wins, and winning is job #1.
