It is completely obvious that the party lost in 2024 because it overcommitted to a range of unpopular left-wing positions, some of which yielded disastrous policy results (like the Biden migration wave) while others merely persuaded constituencies that had voted Democratic in the past (like blue-collar Midwesterners or culturally conservative Latino men) that the party now cared more about climate change

In poll after poll, Americans have said that they know little to nothing about the IRA, with the most recent poll, out in April 2024, finding that 4 in 10 people say that they don’t know enough about the law’s provisions to have an opinion on them. At the same time, a July 2023 Data for Progress poll found that large numbers of Americans support provisions in the IRA when asked specifically about them, including tax credits for businesses that produce clean electricity, electric vehicles, and new clean energy technologies (69%); rebates up to $14,000 per household to improve home energy efficiency (71%); and ramping up production of American-made clean energy technologies (73%). And perhaps most significantly, support for these key IRA provisions has grown over time among all likely voters, especially Republican voters.

Utterly bizarre to describe climate change policy as some kind of radical-left albatross.

The IRA contained precisely the kind of 'kitchen table' programs everyone says Democrats should focus on β€” and they're popular!

The problem was that Americans *didn't know* what the IRA was or who passed it.

In the eyes of the establishment, there’s literally nothing Mamdani can do to prove he’s not an antisemite, and literally nothing the openly fascist trump regime can do to prove they are, up to and including intentionally dressing like literal, historical Nazis

People who know Obama say he has been surprised and appalled in how many of the rich people who now form his social circle have made concessions to Trump. He's
reaching out to business and other institutional leaders, urging them not to bend to the current administration even if it
helps their bottom lines.

Let's just lay it out. Epstein was a glorified pimp who used and sold the services of children to the wealthy, the elite, and the powerful. His clients will destroy anything and everything to stay hidden. They will even starve poor people. They have no bottom and no conscience.

Open enrollment starts today, and premiums are skyrocketing. Why?

Because our healthcare system is for-profit, and insurance companies are exploiting you for as much money as possible by selling you coverage and then denying you care.

It’s a scam.

Demand universal healthcare.

Elie Mystal: GOP Supreme Court gives Trump what he wants as an act of self-preservation
YouTube video by The Dean Obeidallah Show Elie Mystal: GOP Supreme Court gives Trump what he wants as an act of self-preservation

Elie Mystal--Justice correspondent for The Nation-- spoke to me about the corrupt GOP Supreme Court. Elie explained the court gives Trump what he wants as an act of self-preservation. He noted without SCOTUS reform, we will never be able to move this nation forward. youtu.be/qsTzICW1tZQ?...

I found this piece sad too, but mostly because it is part of a years-long effort by progressives to understand what "really" animates Trump voters.

We already know! It is racism, misogyny and misinformation. I know that sounds condescending or whatever but it's simply what all evidence suggests.

I'd say that you can find good in many people who voted for Trump, but you won't find it in their reasons for voting for Trump or in their ideas about politics.

I know Trump voters who can be kind and generous and loving. If you ask why they voted for Trump they'll give you misinfo and bigotry.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

This is true even of their best 150th-200th recordings, for me. If I'd just been a part of their cover of "Boys," even the Hollywood Bowl version, I'd die knowing I'd made the world a better place.

The most insanely frustrating thing about the #ClimateCrisis is how the breakthrough we so clearly need isn’t technological. It’s just a collective willingness, a determination even, to change in ways that would clearly be SO MUCH BETTER than the clear and obvious consequences of NOT changing.
