@brianbeutler Yes, but he wasn’t, and Bernie’s judgment in the reality that existed was hot garbage, and that’s the point.

[David Sellers Smith @DSellersSmith]

@HBendaas That was nearly three years ago. He changed his position as reality changed. Not complicated.

[David Sellers Smith @DSellersSmith]

@zachdcarter @jonathanchait Um….what?

[David Sellers Smith @DSellersSmith]

@HeerJeet Yeah, nah.

@PHXFansAZ Between ‘19 and ‘23, they won the pennant once.

@DrewSav Uh, Trump walked back conservative positions on entitlement cuts.

[David Sellers Smith @DSellersSmith]

@Tyler_A_Harper Good thread.

@hecubian_devil I think the fundamental disconnect here is that you wants politics to solve man's search for meaning and I want politics to deliver a prosperous, safe, free society in which everyone can go find meaning in something other than politics.

@david_perell It’s an awesome place. I’m guessing the two limiting factors are heinous winters and Midwest vibe, and one of the key timing things is that social media gets everyone comparing and despairing on stuff like that.

[David Sellers Smith @DSellersSmith]

@amandalitman @admcrlsn Yes but the thing you have to give them for vote for is 1) something they actually want, and 2) often rather vague and milquetoast from the perspective of political obsessives (I.e. “change we can believe in” or “putting people first” etc.)

@hecubian_devil @intentionalisms On the other hand, grow up.

If you critique Ossoff on his “no” Green New Deal stance from 2020 running as the underdog in Georgia but don’t note he wrote the solar manufacturing law that has survived the GOP’s purge of the IRA, you don’t underestimate him, the lawmaking process or good governance.

@hecubian_devil Um, electoral map? Senate? Rural power? Hello?

[David Sellers Smith @DSellersSmith]

@ettingermentum It’s fascinating how you can’t see the reality of political opposition.

[David Sellers Smith @DSellersSmith]

@PollTracker2024 Why is this a story? Grow up.

[David Sellers Smith @DSellersSmith]

@AustinHoney30 It’s copium.

[David Sellers Smith @DSellersSmith]

@JaneAFlegal Absolutely, yes, great tweet.

[Jane Flegal @JaneAFlegal]

Right now, Democratic policymakers get basically zero pressure OR cover to do the hard stuff on climate (e.g., permitting reform, transmission planning, interconnection reform, reducing tariffs). There's no clear agenda, no field of orgs funded at scale, no political machine.

@BobbyPalmer_ @Acyn Pathetic, Bobby.

i feel like a lot of people have a hard time wrapping their minds around the fact that because basically almost all Black voters are Democrats, while the median Black voter is to the left of the median white voter, the median Black Democrat is to the right of the median white Democrat
