Forget being wrong about “how public opinion would respond to immigration in 2025”; do these ppl not remember pre-2020 when immigration was on a 15-year upswing
Or the two most high performing candidates w/ Latinos (Obama) did so after *moving left on immigration*!!!

Like you are scared of backlash but even seeing the public organized in resistance against a racist secret police for months to defend their neighbors……and you can’t even have political courage to lead them in resistance
Does no one remember outcry against family separation?

Real talk: it’s crazy how Trump is inciting so much backlash on immigration (-22 approval) & there’s no coordinated response of opposition from elected Democrats though this deportation regime has gone on for months
“We don’t have a positive vision yet ”-fine but at least be an opposition party

From Scher in 2018 Politico: “greatest thing on the left since Obama/Edwards with a proudly progressive message”
Ppl just forget progressive used to be a replacement for liberal bc it was seen as a dirty word

My hobbyhorse is going to get ppl to remember how pre-2020 politics actually worked
1) Beto wasn’t a progressive (WTF are you talking about- for 2018 & for TX, he was & called as such)
2) Immigration has always been a thorny issue for Dems (immigration had a 15-year climb in popularity pre-COVID)

“Once you will find someone iridescent and nothing will ever compare” is the first movie quote that truly spoke to me.
And I have always carried it with me since I was 12 to remind myself to do what is right and reject comfort, conformity, and complacency.
It’s ok to be weird but never an asshole

Reiner’s adaptation of Flipped got me to fall in love w/ film as an art form, showing how directors can breathe new life into a work by imbuing it with their life experiences
It was the first movie I ever brought and God, this hurts

Also Bovino is CBP and it’s important to note that so ppl understand that the problem isn’t just ICE- CBP is worse bc they have expanded authority to do lawless actions like warrantless searches and are often more violent
And they are given a border zone that encompasses 2/3 of America!

Begging ppl to remember abolish DHS (& subagencies of ICE and CBP) has been a movement since its inception only 22 years ago bc ppl (often libertarians) easily saw how it was going to be used to trample civil liberties in name of “security”

Yes but also Garcia’s treatment and Trump’s violation of civil liberties wrt deporting ppl to gulags was very unpopular- most unpopular thing he has done on immigration w/ 61 percent disapproving!

But most importantly I think ppl underrate/ignore how the primary electorate doesn’t blame Kamala for 2024. They think she did best she could in a tough spot
They blame Joe instead

My hot take is that Kamala goes for 2028, we likely are getting a 2020 primary redux w/ her as Biden
Esp if she goes with a “both parties failed America and institutions are broken”angle

Admiral Alvin Holsey, who wanted to take a tougher stance against cartels, literally resigned/was fired bc he refused to do the boat strikes
Why are moderate Dems so willing to bend over backwards- also Bradley was elevated *precisely bc* he was the only one willing to do the murders!!

Sidenote: even tho I disagree w/ Lak a bunch of times, he’s right here and it’s funny how ppl mocked Schumer for the “every rural vote we lose, we will gain 2 suburban voters” but there is a reason he said that lol

Polls showing that millennials are more conservative than expected *and* that Dems are not over-performing w/ wealthy whites but rather non-college and educated minorities…..it’s been a banner day for polls revealing trends that have been apparent for months but ignored for *narrative* lol

1) TX does runoffs in primaries so no candidate could win the Democratic primary with only 30% of the vote
2)Talarico, Allred, Beto *and* Castro openly did a “elite conventional/mod Dem coordination summit” precisely to avoid this chaos and either Collin, James, or both just ignore the decision

Yeah I don’t love the new expectation setting in media that the only real victory for Dems tonight is winning TN-07
What matters is margin- like if the race is actually a double digit Dem overperformance, let alone within single digits (as was the original expectation), that is the true victory!
