this is one of the many reasons why 'our policies have to follow the polls' is bad politics. people are real swingy and often don't mean what they say or don't understand what they're saying
A majority of Americans (55%) now say the United States should pursue a policy of global free trade, up from 35% in June 2024.

It's often said that presidents have limited power over the economy, but really it's more accurate to say that they have limited power to increase economic growth.
They have a lot more power to break things.

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"

Posted about this elsewhere — but I think it is a bad strategy politically, and very bad analysis of voter psychology (it really is!), to tweet about Trump’s tariffs and deportations etc and say “well, sucks for y’all who voted for it, you get what you vote for/reap what you sow” etc. Thoughts: 1/4
