 “Last year’s election was close, despite President Trump’s hyperbolic claims about his margin of victory. Still, the Democratic Party clearly lost — and not only the presidential race. It also lost control of the Senate and failed to recapture the House of Representatives. Of the 11 governor’s races held last year, Democrats won three. In state legislature races, they won fewer than 45 percent of the seats.” “Voters also trusted Republicans more than Democrats on immigration, crime, government spending, global trade and foreign policy. Among the few exceptions were abortion and health care. As the headline of a recent Times news article summarized, “Support for Trump’s Policies Exceeds Support for Trump.” Only 27 percent of Americans now have a favorable view of the Democratic Party. It is the party’s lowest approval rating in decades.” “Even today, the party remains too focused on personal identity and on Americans’ differences — by race, gender, sexuality and religion — rather than our shared values. On these issues, progressives sometimes adopt a scolding, censorious posture. It is worth emphasizing that this posture has alienated growing numbers of Asian, Black and Latino voters. Democrats who won last year in places where Mr. Trump also won, such as Senator Ruben Gallego of Arizona and Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, adopted a more moderate tone. They were hawkish about border security and law enforcement, criticizing their own party. They did not make the common Democratic mistake of trying to talk about only economic policy and refusing to engage with Americans’ concerns on difficult social issues. Third, the party has to offer new ideas. When Democrats emerged from the wilderness in the past, they often did so with fresh ideas. They updated the proud Democratic tradition of improving life for all Americans. Bill Clinton remade the party in the early 1990s and spoke of “putting people first.” In 2008, Mr. Obama, Mrs. Clinton and John Edwards offered exciting plans to improve health care, reduce inequality and slow climate change. These candidates provided intellectual leadership. Ms. Harris failed to do so in last year’s campaign, and few Democrats are doing so today. Where is the Democrat with bold plans to cut living costs? Or fight the ills of social media? Or help aimless boys who are struggling in school? Where is the governor who does more than talk about an abundance agenda and actually cuts regulations to help America build? New ideas should come from both the party’s progressives and its centrists.”

This just makes too much sense to be totally false.

" The USDA occasionally publishes data on what sorts of things food stamp recipients use their benefits on. Here's data on what they purchase compared with households that do not use food stamps:"

 

   

 

It's not great, but I though it'd be worse.

 "Dems really need to stop taking the 20 side on 80/20 issues. Stop simping for terrorist sympathizers and literal gang members. Most Americans will never step foot on the hallowed grounds of an Ivy League campus. They expect non-citizens who have that privilege to behave well. Condemn and prosecute actual CRIME like riots, looting, and the recent attacks on tesla owners and dealerships. Stop giving repeat offenders joke sentences and letting them out early. Abandon the trans in womens sports crap. It's not even necessary to abandon core democrat cultural issues like abortion and gun control to do all of this. Just shitcan the radical antifa left and elitist anti-family causes of the last decade and we will have a functioning left again. Supply-side liberalism which is championed in Abundance is a great start"

 "What is the point of this? Why flirt with nonsensical ideas that are clearly barred by the constitution and are not going to work, and wouldn’t really be advisable even with legal tinkering? If you’re going to sow chaos there better be a point. If not then this childish bullshit meant to troll the libs needs to just stop. Just govern FFS"
