  1. Imagine typing that and not viewing it as an incredible opportunity. The progressive mindset, in a nutshell. I don’t “blame people” for leaving. That’s a good thing. I do blame politically aware progressives for abandoning the space, and the apolitical people who are left behind. lol, who said anything about making it better? Propaganda wars are not some kind of joint effort to improve public discourse.
  2. No offense but this reminds me Texas Democrats “keeping their powder dry” in the 2000 election. What do people imagine will happen? Politically aware news consumers will leave Twitter and then what? The people who use Twitter for sports news will miss them and go to BlueSky before they get red pilled? This is 2025- attention is FAR more important and scarce than money.
  3. Clarifying something- I get why @immamac stopped Twitter embeds. I’m making a broader point about people who are concerned about what Twitter is doing to politics fleeing from the platform and then complaining about right wing information bubbles.
  4. They have their own information zone because democrats withdrew infrastructure and coalition building efforts from those places, literally- meaning dissenting voices physically and digitally left those spaces. You are posting on a board that made the decision to silence Twitter, and many people here have chosen to abandon that part of the public square. That’s a strategic error, and in metaphorical terms that’s how the Democratic Party got here- playing moneyball at the demographic and county level. I have said this before, but it’s germane here: right now, political operatives are actively discouraging straight white males from seeking Democratic nominations at the county and statewide level over representational concerns, regardless of their status and credibility in their communities. That’s a huge problem. The best messaging in the world won’t help if the messenger can’t deliver it.
  5. Possibly true, although somehow they missed the STEM education too.
  6. It’s a complicated answer and I don’t know where it is, but the gist of it was a messaging framework to co-opt and reframe their political language, and to eliminate the use of abstraction, and clearly assign with the GOP with the tangible economic and quality of life problems regular people experience in everyday life. That said, I can’t be clear enough that poor messaging is the symptom and fixing it would not result in much more success unless the infrastructure of the party is remade from the local level up. A lot of what’s happening in our politics is a function of the big sort. We need more blue dots in red places.
  7. Your jambox is now his … by way of our actions
  8. That’s true but with the caveat that the “messaging” is not the problem. The incoherence and irrelevance of the messaging is the symptom of a broken institution. Saying the Democrats have a messaging problem is like saying Alvin Ord’s needs to go back to the original bread.
  9. You just made the list, buddy
  10. “Ah sooo… Dems in disarray!”
  11. Or what? The American people might be horrified to learn that dangerously incompetent boobs are putting human lives and national security at risk and demand that congress exercise oversight?
  12. Come on, man. The NYT probably found out from the Russians or Iran.

  14. DeBaathification worked out ok for the Coalition Provisional Authority, what’s the worst that could happen?
  15. Many. And she’s reacting about how you would expect.
  16. Pretty brutal, but (no offense) I don’t run a copy/paste service for people who allow MAGA to take possession of the public square. want to see the discourse? Go and see.
  17. Not like the ones I remember. Obviously the city has changed a lot but 20 years ago Oakland Arena wasn’t a polite corporate monoculture, and the local fans who could only afford to go sometimes were even less so. Warriors fans in nowadays seem like frontrunners from anywhereville. These kind of people who say they live “in the Bay Area.” Of course the Rangers.
  18. The Warriors fans in Oakland. Not people who cross the bridge. It’s not anything like the old Warriors fans now. You could be anywhere.
  19. How far down do we think this falls by end of season?
