An exchange in tonight's VA Gov debate:

AS: My opponent has previously said that she does not think gay couples should be allowed to marry.

WES: That’s not discrimination!

AS: She said that she is, quote-unquote, morally opposed to same-sex marriage.

WES: That’s not discrimination! (1/2)

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 4h

Here’s a primer on ‘primer.’

It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”

It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

the actual dem pitch should probably be shit like: “your thanksgiving is gonna suck because these scumbags in silicon valley gave your uncle brain damage on facebook with the same shit as that awful copilot thing, and also cattle ranchers are stealing from you. donald trump did all of that”

republicans understand this, which is why they never change their positions

there’s no Big Narrative or A Thoughtful Decision On The Issues. there almost never is. it’s just swing voters going “vibes are good”/“vibes are shit”

what you actually wind up with if you think it through a bit is “dems modifying unpopular positions” gains them 5 votes that don’t matter. it’s negotiating with yourself

harris lost because biden was unpopular. biden was unpopular because of eggs and afghanistan

The Fig Economy @figgityfigs.bsky.social · 5h

And even say they *are* unpopular, you’ve still got work to do to show that there is an appreciable amount of voters whose holdup with the Dems is them changing on this one issue (or this collection of issues).

i think this is an completely fair set of questions for these people

all hallows eve-run enjoyer @rickywlmsbong.bsky.social · 5h

also i don’t mean (1) as a gotcha. just give me a position that a decent majority of dems hold

all hallows eve-run enjoyer @rickywlmsbong.bsky.social · 5h

and please show your work on (3) because the “popularist” crowd are very keen on trying to change dem positions that aren’t actually unpopular

okay, could you provide (say) five issues:

(1) the “democratic position,”
(2) how the position ought to be modified and
(3) why that change would help dems win?

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias.bsky.social · 7h

I think that Democrats winning more elections would be extremely beneficial on net for all the relevant groups, even if what it took to get there was some moderation on specific positions.

Justin T. Brown-Ramsey @brown-ramsey.bsky.social · 7h

You’ve been on every major platform imaginable saying in one way or another that the democrats can function by cleaving random marginal groups because doing so would be electorally advantageous. This is the right’s fault, but it is also YOUR fault for trying to get in on their game, too, *******!
