centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

Musk put an aside in his own online encyclopedia about how he supposedly lost 20 pounds

Grokipedia

Musk maintains a demanding schedule, typically sleeping six hours per night, going to bed between 1 and 3 a.m. and waking around 9 a.m., a pattern he adjusted from longer workdays to prioritize recovery while managing multiple companies.[234] His diet includes occasional indulgences like morning donuts and multiple Diet Cokes daily, supplemented by intermittent fasting that contributed to a reported 20-pound weight loss, though he avoids eating or drinking alcohol two to three hours before bed to optimize sleep.[235] Exercise-wise, he favors weightlifting and strength training over cardio like running, which he dislikes, aiming for consistency to sustain energy amid 80-100-hour workweeks that often extend into weekends.

It's darkly funny anytime one of these consultant pamphlets comes out about how Democrats can scientifically carve up the electorate to eke out a win, meanwhile the current president spent the campaign swaying on stages, giving 45 minute speeches about who's nice to him. Riding in a garbage truck

i'm fine with a deeper focus on economic issues over social issues but man does plank 2 give the game away

To give ourselves the best chance to win, we recommend the following changes to our approach. Democrats need to:

Focus our policy agenda and our messaging on an economic program centered on lowering costs, growing the economy, creating jobs, and expanding the social safety net.

Advocate for popular economic policies (e.g., expanding prescription drug price negotiation, making the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes, raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour) rather than unpopular economic policies (e.g., student loan forgiveness, electric vehicle subsidies, Medicare for All).

Convince voters that we share their priorities by focusing more on issues voters do not think our party prioritizes highly enough (the economy, the cost of living, health care, border security, public safety), and focusing less on issues voters think we place too much emphasis on (climate change, democracy, abortion, identity and cultural issues).

Moderate our positions where our agenda is unpopular, including on issues like immigration, public safety, energy production, and some identity and cultural issues.

Embrace a substantive and rhetorical critique of the outsized political and economic influence of lobbyists, corporations, and the ultra-wealthy, while keeping two considerations in mind: First, voters' frustrations with the status quo are not the same as a desire for socialism. And second, criticizing the status quo is a complement to advocating for popular policies on the issues that matter most to the American people, not a substitute.

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

You're on notice, BlueSky.

Carl Beijer: "Zionism, libertarianism, and anti-socialism are all prolific and widely tolerated on Bluesky, and if we can no longer criticize them because of our opposition to American-style fascism then the right has won.

Also: classism. Bluesky is *ferociously* anti-poor: widely in denial about poverty and immiseration, openly hostile towards working class politics. It's really intolerable."
