These groups love to act like things in NYC and San Francisco like “take care of kids and old people” and “don’t pollute natural resources” and “don’t allow business to screw over consumers” are radical way out there left wing notions. They’re just as bad as Fox News.

The point of orgs like Third Way and Searchlight is to make Democrats just as soft on business corruption as Republicans but with a little less racism and misogyny.

CBS News is regime propaganda and apparently they are quite happy to hire creepy Epstein pals as well

“The family of a self-identified ‘Trump Republican’ running for office in Texas bought Jeffrey Epstein’s New Mexico ranch where the sex trafficker abused teenage girls and young women, according to new documents.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Too many left of center orgs do not offer themselves up for quotes. Saw this first hand at MMFA where we were one of the few liberal orgs actively trying to push our info on the press

you can really blow some minds with “actually there was an entire library and research institute for queer / trans history, science and medicine founded by a Jewish sexologist but the Nazis destroyed it in the hopes of exactly this outcome, ie future generations not believing trans people are real”

“What wins in New York City wins in about three other places,” said Jim Kessler, the executive vice president for policy at Third Way, a centrist Democratic think tank. Ms. Spanberger, he said, will now have to prove herself on the yardsticks that matter in Virginia, growth in the state’s economy and jobs, and on a bigger stage.

I swear it’s like the NY Times has the right wing Democrats at Third Way on speed dial

I feel like this is pretty key. Newsom is signaling that he wants to throw trans people under every available bus. that is a reason to denounce him, not to preemptively demand that trans people endorse him. 1

Hm, guess what?

lol I’m not exactly new at this

One of Trump's cabinet secretaries in his first term literally resigned over using federal funds to pay for private plane trips. These people are just daring Democrats to impeach them next year aren't they

So I used to argue with Noah Rothman on Twitter. Originally he was very opposed to Trump. He even said he was writing an anti Trump book from the right. But then he saw where the money was, pivoted the book to be another Dem-bashing book and since then he’s a Trump bootlicker like all the rest.

And you have to do it every time. Every time. No slight should pass without push back. None.

She’s either dumb or a socialist or too pretty. Like with Obama they can’t pick a lane.

Democrats and people who support democrats and liberalism are going to have to regularly jump on the media’s backs. We can’t continue to let them go on like this without challenge.

NY Times somehow avoided calling this a “stumble”

FWIW I don’t think it will work. Unfortunately for Clinton the right and the media had nearly 40 years of smears in the chamber by the time she was the nominee.

They’re trying to Hillary her

a man in a blue shirt is sitting in a chair with the words guy in the chair written below him ALT: a man in a blue shirt is sitting in a chair with the words guy in the chair written below him

his mom facetimed me today to show he's now big enough to sit in the activity circle thing-a-ma-bob i bought him in december and my first thought was "he's the guy in the chair." because i am a massive nerd.

when im down i hold my six month old godson in the air and let him fly superman style and he smiles so much. better than any drug.

life is not all about passing legislation or even winning the day to day message war. but it is a long term battle. dems should be in the arena and part of the conversation every second, because it wears the bastards down and they end up losing.

this is a big reason why im so down on tight-lipped democrats. democratic leaders speaking up with forceful language actually matters. letting the gop dominate because the media sucks is dumb and its been standard operating procedure for dems for decades.

our loudness HURTS THEM. they want nothing more than for us to shut up but most people AGREE WITH US on a ton of issues. and the more people HEAR US the more they TURN AWAY from the right.

so BE. FUCKING. LOUD.

one of the lessons i learned from the bush years is the right loves for the left to think they are on the fringe, that our voices dont matter, and that we are drowned out. it leads to the left being quiet and the right dominating the conversation. but we arent fringe and we should always be loud.

when you make noise it hurts the fascist cause. make more noise. make good trouble.
