yeah...I mean, basically all the evidence we have suggests strongly that the people who abandoned Ds in 2024 were weakly partisan low info voters angry about inflation. you can't yell at them online; they are not talking to you about politics on social media.
As @clairewillett.bsky.social , @nberlat.bsky.social and I have discussed, mainstream Dems have an obsessive, unreasonable narrative regarding Democratic losses that blame not just the left but the most vulnerable voters

I still think it's absurd that they give up now, when I think a much more understandable play would be holding the line and letting the GOP ruin thanksgiving and then doing something to avert ruining Christmas

I guess the silver lining is how many people who just won elections or are hoping to win elections shortly have decided to put out statements about their colleagues going “well so first off they’re fucking stupid”

the GOP refusing to fund the ACA subsidies is going to seal their fate this coming year. November '26 is going to be a bloodbath.

One should not find common ground with this.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

You know how craven you have to be for Gavin Newsom to call you out
Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

like i say every few weeks (annoying all my followers), in a crisis like this, people are scared, and they are looking for leaders they can trust — people who they think will fight for them, and defend them when it gets bad.
now think about the message democrats sent today.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

I worked on it but I don't feel like it's better. Good news, I'm reviewing every decision I've made in my life that led to this failiure

atlanta is the busiest airport and hub in the country. this is astonishing
Waiting for a very delayed flight to Atlanta & the pilot (Scott!) has become everyone's best friend, hanging out amongst the people. He's let us know that Atlanta is only allowing 30 flights an hour, when it's usually 120.
Obviously frustrating but also enjoying how much Scott is relishing this.
