This is the correct takeaway. In lib vernacular: “do not invalidate somebody’s lived experience.”
If the economy is “good” and a voter tells you it’s not, it’s tempting to say they don’t get it. But 9 times out of 10, they say the economy isn’t good because it’s not FOR THEM.
Smart Democrat: “Quite literally voters tell us what they want and what they need. Dems’ problem is that we tell them they are wrong.
When someone says prices are too high, answer can’t be ‘You don’t understand, this is best economy ever!’” And that’s not candidate specific.
The silver lining is that for the first time in several years I’m experiencing existential dread. My therapist is going to be so proud that I’m opening up to feelings that I had closed off to myself
@icaito@fshakir@heyjohnrussell lol not sure how much credit I could take. Nothing about modern John is my doing and I tell him every time we talk to ditch the mullet 😂
The upside to picking somebody that can’t upstage you is that they won’t upstage you. The downside is that there is the distinct possibility that person still becomes governor of NY
A not isolated theme is some of the ��Biden is being forced out by the media but WE are with him” are absolutely convinced that anybody who thinks he should step aside is a Russian bot rather than a part of the 60-80% of Dems that think he should; which honestly explains a lot
I’ve never been a big @MarkCavendish fan (nothing personal, just always felt 🤷♂️ about sprinters), but learning that he’s a giant @WaffleHouse fan changes everything. Yes Mark! New fave ❤️
Get yourself that Allstar Special 🧇 with your hashbrowns smothered diced and peppered
@MGavinSr How can you claim the mantle of being the party that tells the truth when you’re asking voters to create to dismiss what they very clearly see with their own eyes and think is a serious issue?
@MGavinSr If Biden had been polling several points ahead and most voters didn’t see age as an issue, this would all obviously be media both-sides frenzy. But he’s not! Even before the debate, a majority of voters, including a majority of Ds, thought that he was too old to be president!
