I swear to god this is what people mean when they say Democrats can't get out of their own way. One thing NOT lacking in the party is secular voices. What IS lacking is a voice that tells evangelicals that might be having issues reconciling the teachings of Christ with the political movement that's joined at the hip to their church that it's okay to vote for democrats.

This is flat out wrong and indicative that you are inattentive to races held primarily in African American communities.  In many of those, a religious element is deeply tied into the winning candidates rhetoric.  

I’ll also point out that the evangelicals running away from the Democrats began in the 70’s and longer articles in The Atlantic and Politico (discussed here when they were published) link them to an anti-abortion movement that was truly an appeal to racial segregationists.  
 

You’re not pulling these voters back in because you run a Talarico and he puts his faith front and center.  
 

Anyway, my main point is it’s a big tent and ascribing a party wide disfunction is to neglect races in which it’s a major element and in which a Democrat uses their faith effectively.

Sorry for the Twitter link, but Talarico's feed on BlueSky is just a few months old and I remembered this particular press appearance from the election days.   He's reprised the "WWJD" argument several times since then.  I voted for Harris and his approach rubbed me the wrong way then, and still makes me uncomfortable. 

 

Yes, like others, I see that as calling out the hypocrisy as opposed to demanding that real Christianity dictate the outcome.

As soon as he starts using Jesus or Christian arguments of a certain strain to support legislation, then I'm right with ya.

If the democrats weren’t such fucking cowards they would be out there promising that WHEN they return to power there will be consequences for foreign and domestic figures who aid the Trump regime. Nayib Bukele and every other foreign leader taking third country deportees should have known in no uncertain terms that if they disappeared people on Trump’s behalf their countries would be sanctioned, and it would simply be a matter of time. Tulsi and Stephen Miller should be afraid. ICE should be so scared they won’t even show their faces… oh wait.

Is anyone afraid of the democrats?
