Hopefully 2026 is a blue wave and gives us some strong recruits downballot. Of course I honestly wouldn’t mind Conor Lamb either.

I’m guessing neither Magaziner or Amos are willing to do it? Considering how quickly 25-year incumbent Schakowsky changed her mind from some random TikToker running against her, I feel like it wouldn’t be too difficult to scare the guy into retiring.

Tbh I always hear that Georgia is gonna be the new Virginia but at the rate Atlanta is trending I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes the new Illinois

Forgot where I saw the term but “vice signaling” is a pretty apt descriptor for it IMO

Reminds me of how every progressive Republican in the 1920s was like “the big banks dragged us into the Great War!” and then a decade later the same exact person would be like “the Jews dragged us into the Great War!” all while frothing at the mouth with conspiracies about the Rothschilds

Reminds me of how more voters in 2016 viewed Trump as the “moderate” choice compared to Clinton, despite that being obviously not true
Of course IMO that just proves the point that swing voters hold a completely incoherent amalgamation of views based on the “vibes” of their social media of choice

If the internet existed in the 1930s there would 100% be an extremely annoying contingent of online tankies calling themselves “Gerald Nye progressives” and claiming that Japan’s invasion of China is ackshually anti-imperialist because they’re purging China of western influence or whatever

I think this is a big part of what’s been threatening our democracy. Like you can’t have one party for conspiracy theorists and one party for educated suburban moms who vote in every election. Like unironically having all the cranks on one side alone makes them too powerful and too dangerous.

Also isn’t there that whole “26% of people have an authoritarian psychology” thing? That number has come up a few times tbh

More and more it feels like they’re just the reincarnation of the old progressive Republicans in the Midwest circa 1930s, constantly relitigating 2016 ad nauseum fighting against an “establishment” no matter how real all while taking increasingly bizarre positions to do so

What’s especially funny to me is just how little he really tried to win over the isolationist right. Like until October he treated what was essentially a party coup as an actual primary win and just proceeded to decapitate his own party’s isolationist base.

Still thinking about the one quote from Truman to George Smathers in 1949: “I want you to beat that son of a bitch Claude Pepper”
Funnily enough I’m pretty sure Truman endorsed Pepper anyway in 1950 IIRC, but I’d have to double check on that

Aside from *maybe* Murk, Collins, and Curtis, how much crossover support is realistically possible? Dems would need like 20 Republicans senators, right?

If there’s one thing I hope this stupid timeline teaches us it’s that finance bros are actually pretty dumb

Have you considered that if China buys our oil then that means we’re being Woke Globalists? They’re communist, we clearly can’t be doing that

You have a point but you’re also forgetting the other option of becoming an ultra partisan resistlib who still calls the president “tRump” and posts in like 17 different lib facebook groups about the next protest (to be clear this is a very based option just pointing it out)

Didn’t even realize she was going for AG. Was kinda hoping one of them would primary Hickenlooper tbh

Honestly it’s this kind of stuff that makes the Progressive Era so unique. Like the idea of having coalitions not entirely rooted in ideology feels so foreign to today but in a way I feel like it was conducive to a way more productive government.

People also forget that left and right used to mean different things. Like being pro-business before 1896 generally meant supporting “big government” i.e. tariffs, railroad subsidies, etc. while being pro-labor meant supporting “small government.” It just doesn’t translate easily to modern politics

I think what we need is a single reform-libertarian-green third party that consistently takes crank positions on everything and saps up the 10% of voters who are most clinically insane
Like the types drawn to conspiracy thinking, I’m worried “everyone gets a thousand dollars” won’t appeal to them

Tbh most people assume so much BS about the party switch. They ignore that Wilson campaigned hard with black voters in 1912 (and won a plurality of them that year). They forget that Taft mainly used southern delegates to get renominated at the RNC. The southern strategy was long in the making.
