🧵 Raphael Warnock was exactly right. Democrats must never again listen to neoliberal fake savants who pretend to have expertise when in fact, they know little about political science or even causation. A savvy party never voluntarily tries to become a regional party. #uspol #georgia #election2026

Libertarianish Democrats haven't figured out that while crossover voters are extremely important, they are more responsive to rhetoric than to ideology or policy. Republicans call all Democrats radical, so you can have almost any views you want since they'll just lie anyway. https://plus.flux.community/p/standing-up-for-trans-people-isnt

@mattsheffield@mastodon.social If the Dems accomplished a 2/3 majority in both chambers, then they’d be expected to do something. Their fear of being agents of change, or even allowing change to happen, is all consuming. The Democratic establishment are the real conservatives, even reactionaries. The Republicans are the radical party of burn everything down and replace it with something new. The new thing they want to replace it with is an awful meathook dystopia, but it’s a whole new thing.
