I think Democratic voters should support the candidate who they think best promotes the issues important to them. I think trying to game the bigotry of other people is to effectively enable that bigotry. We shouldn't *not* vote for someone because of their identity.

So another case of what I call civic terrorism in store...frankly there are so many cases of economic terrorism I would have thought we would get Trump on one of those long ago. Here we go again, have to rely on the guardrails and then we'll also blame the guardrails.
Stephen Robinson@SER1897Oct 26
I know @atrupar has argued that re-electing Trump was one of the most self-destructive acts an electorate could have inflicted on itself, but this is one of those moments where I still can't believe it happened. We're likely heading for another January 6, perhaps worse.

I missed this tidbit the other day. 👀 While speaking at Georgetown on October 15th, Tim Walz was asked to give advice to the national party. His answer: "Pick Pete Buttigieg." It's around 19:20 in this video: youtu.be/dJvEr36Rs7I

It was great joining my long time friend @PeteButtigieg in Georgia with a visit to Conyers to help fire up volunteers. This community is so excited to help deliver Georgia for Democrats and lift up next generation leaders like @jasmineforga and @ossoff to Congress.

I hate this question and it's stupid every time it is asked. But what I really hate is how stupid Democrats are when they say "the country isn't ready for one" rather than asking the question, "Why will the GOP be first when we claim to be the civil rights party?"And they will

TMZ: “Are we going to have a female president first or a g*y president?” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY): “Well, we don’t know if we’ve already had a g*y president. I think there’s chances maybe we have but I don’t know.”

I see political forces in percentages of demographics very much like physics. And it requires significantly more force to get a car moving from 10mph to 20mph than it does to get one moving from ~47mph to ~53mph.
Stephen Robinson@SER1897Oct 25
The Democratic Party was in denial about this -- still framing the narrative as Trump's victory serving as further proof of white supremacy. Harris's performance among Black voters, the supposed "base" of the party was generationally bad for a Democratic nominee.

Big new demographic tool from the NYT — they find that between 2020-24 in Georgia, white voters shifted one percentage point towards Democrats while Black voters shifted 5 percentage points towards Republicans: nytimes.com/interactive/2024…

People—Democrats, Republicans, Independents—clamoring to support the Peltolas and Coopers is actually a validation of their candidate quality! It’s good to have candidates people want to associate with and that should be a factor when assessing candidate quality!

@mehdirhasanOct 25
Ridiculous. For all the folks still pretending El-Sayed’s race is the same as Cooper’s or Peltola’s, do they have former Dem rivals refusing to fully endorse them on national TV? ‘Blue no matter who’ was a hypocritical centrist lie and this hypocrisy may hurt Dems in 2028.

Exactly. We are NOT gonna make an overpriced restaurant another dumb ass cultural war when diesel is over 6.50 a gallon, gas is over 4.00 beef is 8.00 a gallon and the GOP cut Medicaid and ACA subsidies. Defending the Cheesecake Factory is not economic populism.

This is actually a condescending view of working-class people. I grew up in a working-class immigrant family and we ate at Red Lobster and The Cheesecake Factory for "fancy nights out." But even we understood that the White House should not look like the inside of a Red Lobster. Working-class people are not culturally illiterate just because their experiences are shaped by their limited means.

I feel like Steve Bannon told the world about this. And this clown Kushner, requesting more classified documents than anyone had Russia reading his phone? I bet someone loaded spyware into his phone at the Trump Tower meeting with the Russians where they offered Hillary dirt.
