Stick your head in the sand all you want but he has practically the highest WAR score of all congressional Democrats. Dems need lots more Jared Goldens.

I think he's over-reached to the point that it's really turning people off, but 1) it's still his strongest issue 3) Democrats have a credibility problem because of Biden's failures 3) the topic splits the Dems. Contrast this with health care which these things are reversed in favor of Dems.

Why don't you let profoundly autistic non-verbal people speak for themselves @esqueer.net? Why don't you interview some and ask them how they feel about this? Invite them to post on Bluesky about their experience.

"They spoke a lot to the parents of autistic children but almost never to the children themselves." OK why don't you speak to them? Where are all the profoundly autistic non-verbal people on Bluesky? People keep getting upset about this, but who are the big profoundly autistic Bluesky accounts?

No, man. First, the book was released in 2020, not 2025. And second, it was not advocacy for immediate political changes, it was long term ideas for retaining America's greatness. And third, he hasn't walked back or contradicted anything said in the book.

It's bad for democracy if Trump wins, and advocating a policy that raises that chances of Trump winning is bad for whatever liberal cause you're advocating. In American, in 2025, winning is much, much more important than whatever extra marginally better position you want to advocate for.

Does this make Trump an enemy of abortion restrictionists? Shouldn't evangelicals have shown up en masse at Mar-a-lago during the campaign shouting, protesting and demanding that Trump sign a national abortion ban within his first hundred days? This is the kind of self-defeating stuff leftists do.

I don't know what to tell you man, other than Republicans do politics a lot better than leftists do. Like do you think it was a betrayal by Trump that he didn't campaign on a national abortion ban, or promise to revoke Mifepristone, or run on making it a crime to cross states to get an abortion?
