<Everything> else - whatever Kitchen Table or civil rights or other policy issue you care about - <follows> from fixing our broken institutions & having multiparty majoritarian democracy. <All> of it. We keep doing it backwards, thinking Just One Popular Policy will fix it. It’s a category error.
This is why Democrats need a platform focused on institutional reform. Having to adopt policy positions opposed by supermajorities of the national public to win the hyper-malapportioned Senate is anti-democratic, & promising policies you can never pass is political suicide.

I really feel like more people need to constructively engage with this! You can think the moderation/centrism discourse is often braindead (as I do!) but the center left really needs a pretty robust convo about what winning, say, an Iowa or Kansas or Texas or Ohio senate seat would look like.
