“In sitting down and analyzing each of these threats, and concluding they’re unlikely to work, it would be a mistake to therefore not worry. The fight is real, the dangers are real, and this is one of the most fraught moments for democracy in American history…Resistance is not futile.”
His attacks on the midterms are real and dangerous… and aren’t going to work. Running down the case for an optimistic threat assessment @theunpopulist.net :

The public values authenticity in public figures above almost everything else.
The fact that Newsom was a standard center-left politician and is now shifting to the right will alienate him from both his old constituency and his new one.
Have Democrats really not learned their lesson on this?

A major reason that Gavin Newsom will not be the Democratic nominee is that it's very clear that he read the same stuff we all did last year about swing voters not liking orthodox social liberals and is "pivoting" on certain issues to try and pretend that he didn't have an entire career being one

Great thread! ⬇️
I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."
That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.
