Obama's coalition, for example, included plenty of moderately racist voters (and some pretty egregiously racist ones). That famous politico poll that found that 1/4 of people who thought that African Americans frequently race baited were also planning on voting blue

It didn't - Dem coalitions including highly educated progressives and people holding at least mild bigotries succeeded in every Dem presidential win before Biden. You could also make a case that it helped Biden as well, given the phenomenon of never Trump Republicans

Because there's a relevant point of comparison? Obviously politics has changed significantly, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to be learned from history. I also don't think Ben is suggesting anything nearly as broad as the new deal's coalition, there's a lot of space between us and the KKK

How it feels reading people say that if Dems simply freed Palestine or killed all healthcare CEOs or did permitting reform or gave me top from the back they would've won the election

It feels like this whole show was people coming up with lines and scenes and not really caring about how the characters actually get there. I can't believe I still like it despite this.

Arcane is a show about how trying to advance technology and distribute the benefits to the masses is stupid and makes you evil (have only seen season one)

Yeah idk where this kind of just-so analysis that Republicans are ultra efficient geniuses when in power came from. TCJA I guess? I think people forget how little legislation they actually passed

I'm not like a hardcore "we need to move right on policy" guy (think it largely misses the point) but also it's pretty bad that my rich WASP coworker couldn't fathom the idea of working for the Mississippi Dems because that would mean being pro second amendment

Iirc my old Tumblr feed was much more "follow one trillion people, who each post about one thing" and then once that's done you sort of find your people by narrowing it down
