if only wasn't so late to my realization..... but then again I already saved Melia and it's not like I'm about to start TWO trades a round!

I don't think it was since stingers has been the other half to Melia surviving this far

BIG OOF

That would suck so hopefully he just prefers Ashley and she hadn't been in danger before.

I won't speak for Tony but to me that's the point. All this "culture war" stuff isn't strategically dumb if it works. There's this tendency to discount that or separate it out from "real" politics when it very much still is real politics. Like that video that was going around of a reporter making fun of the old dude who didn't know what CRT was. The GOP is winning votes by doubling down on racism, and that's a problem! I don't think that's giving voters too much credit as much as acknowledging the GOP knows how to work an audience.

And the second part being is that the take you tend to see among liberal pundits and analysts is for Dems to focus on policy, which like you say doesn't always work. Less so when they don't deliver policy. The difference is I don't think this is insurmountable as much as it is a tactical failure by Dems.

I think we're basically saying the same thing, except you are more optimistic on the nature of people than I am. I think that, no matter what the dems do, they lose here just because of the stupid nature of politics in the US and Americans in general. I agree it is a tactical failure, but not in the sense that it is causing them to lose seats which I think is inevitable just based on the cyclical nature of US politics. The tactical failure is not doing the greatest good they can because, no matter what they do, they're going to lose seats so they might as well do whatever they want.

(I know part of the issue is Manchin is a republican in any other state and Sinema is whatever the hell Sinema is, so they are limited and blah blah blah. Like I get that, but I still want them doing more than what they've been doing regardless of the limitations built into our stupid system and the systematic disadvantage democrats have by living in interesting cities rather than empty states)

To me, that tweet was very much saying "these culture war issues are useless and aren't what people care about" and I disagree with that because that is what way too many people care about. The republican party being what it is not some perversion of voters, but rather a direct reflection of them. Democrats could deliver on everything they promised on and still lose because republicans know how to get enough people scared about CRT or whatever other stupid issue it is they can use to drum up fear about the world changing and leaving them behind. So when I say KK is giving the voters too much credit, I mean in the sense that he thinks the voters would rally behind the democrats if they weren't a bunch of bumbling buffoons. I think he's wrong on that and gives the voters too much credit. They want this anti-vaccine, anti-science, fearmongering, CRT IS COMING FOR YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN party. It isn't disinterest driving people to the republicans and the people voting for them know exactly what they're voting for.

IMO of course.

Democratic strategists are less than useless but you're also giving voters too much credit. Exit polls in Virginia had education as a top concern and those voters broke republican by something like eight points. CRT is a nice dog whistle to scare all the racist suburban voters back into the booth. These culture war issues are dumb to us but "the way of life you knew is changing and only we can save it" works really well on boomers. Virginia also did a bunch of good stuff in the past two years and still got crushed.

That isn't to say Democrats should do more. But it's more of a "do everything you can because you're going to lose anyway" imo.

Pretty sure it's moderate Dems that are mad about it. Most of the "woke left" think he's a war criminal, too.

The woke left is way more likely to criticize places like CNN rehabilitating his image since leaving office than they are to care about whatever the hell Trump wants to do in regards to his funeral.

I mean we always knew moderate democrats like republicans more than progressives so this is sad but not surprising.

Fair assessment, I suppose! I don't know what I was even hoping for at this point. .

My confidence for BBB hit 0% already which is why I'm just like "whatever, there's some good stuff in BIF at least even if it's comically lacking still"

If whatever kinda-sorta gentlemen's agreement exists for the $1.75t BBB framework actually survives and passes then I'll just take it as a win (even though it too is sorely lacking after it got carved to pieces by Manchin and Sinema.)

Basically, if I still thought the House holding onto BIF was a factor in getting stuff done on BBB I'd be upset about what happened here and why I understand why some are. ...But I ceased believing that in recent weeks and think that Manchin and Sinema couldn't care less about tanking both bills if push came to shove.

Yeah, also fair. All reasonable takes, I suppose. I'll probably be less grumpy tomorrow and I understand why progressives had to capitulate. Just would've been nice to get more done with what limited political power they have.

Moops?
"I thought you were making up diseases? That's spontaneous dental hydroplosion."

It always comes down to progressives going "better something than nothing" and moderates going "better nothing than too much" which means progressives always capitulate in situations like this. I fully understand why Jayapal wants to get some good done, so I'm not even blaming her. I'm just frustrated. It sucks but it also sucks that Sinema is more than happy to pass absolutely nothing and not care about the consequences.

"I thought you were making up diseases? That's spontaneous dental hydroplosion."

Like this getting passed is cool and all but now I have like 0% confidence anything comes out of BBB because I have no idea why Sinema would budge on it.
