the ideal for a social democrat is to do radical shit but come off as nice guy doing normal things
It also benefits leftish pols that scan as centrist to the public. Andy Beshear has been admirably principled as a centre-left gov in a deep red state, but the GOP consistently failed to convince the public that the aw-shucks white guy with Lego hair was a Communist revolutionary.

the thing about “democrats should take popular cultural positions” is that what constitutes popular is a function of an interaction between the public and elites. if a faction of elites start screaming about a vulnerable minority and another faction says they have a point, this shapes the public.
In a leaked recording, State Senator Elena Parent (D-42) said she’d vote for Republican transgender healthcare bans because trans rights are too “unpopular."
"You can go right to heck. I don’t think I will lose re-election based on you screaming at me"

Pretty much sums up the approach of the tech industry now – trying to force us to accept a thing that is unnecessary and also looks like ass, and that was generated through theft of labor and intellectual property

just the sheer entitlement of reaping the benefits of living in a prosperous city and closing the door behind you to juice the appreciation of your asset. if you want to live in a place that's frozen in time, sell your house and move to a rural area.

I am seeing more and more opinions bubbling up about how throwing trans people to the wolves would be a winning strategy for Democrats, and I just want to quickly say: Fuck off with that absolute dog shit.
