That's literally the problem, that they didn't. And knowing how the liberal media behaves, they would have grilled them on everything (case in point how the "but how will you pay for this" question is always asked to leftists but never to conservatives).

Your friendly reminder that they never have this same requirement for the progressive left.

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

John Carl Baker @johncarlbaker.bsky.social · 4d

It’s very telling that opening your publication to MAGA “thought” requires a massive downgrade in quality control.

You misspelled "Voters really don't like government inaction against inflation and not having social safety nets to protect them from it."

I think it says more about the social and professional circles the authors of this new Democrat strategy guide are involved in that they think Medicare for All and student loan forgiveness is remotely unpopular.

Sharon @sharonk.bsky.social · 7d

i'm fine with a deeper focus on economic issues over social issues but man does plank 2 give the game away

To give ourselves the best chance to win, we recommend the following changes to our approach. Democrats need to:

Focus our policy agenda and our messaging on an economic program centered on lowering costs, growing the economy, creating jobs, and expanding the social safety net.

Advocate for popular economic policies (e.g., expanding prescription drug price negotiation, making the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes, raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour) rather than unpopular economic policies (e.g., student loan forgiveness, electric vehicle subsidies, Medicare for All).

Convince voters that we share their priorities by focusing more on issues voters do not think our party prioritizes highly enough (the economy, the cost of living, health care, border security, public safety), and focusing less on issues voters think we place too much emphasis on (climate change, democracy, abortion, identity and cultural issues).

Moderate our positions where our agenda is unpopular, including on issues like immigration, public safety, energy production, and some identity and cultural issues.

Embrace a substantive and rhetorical critique of the outsized political and economic influence of lobbyists, corporations, and the ultra-wealthy, while keeping two considerations in mind: First, voters' frustrations with the status quo are not the same as a desire for socialism. And second, criticizing the status quo is a complement to advocating for popular policies on the issues that matter most to the American people, not a substitute.

Absolutely guarantee that if it's a liberal centrist Dem, they will do none of this.

I hate that these goblins are actually ruining the appeal of neo-classical architecture by inexorably tying it to fascism.

This is what happens when you care more about evangelizing rather than educating your subjects, and establishing an Apartheid caste system whose sole purpose was to extract wealth for the crown.

Genuinely wild that Spain had a century-plus head start in developing its American colonies and instead left them poor, uneducated, bankrupt, and institutionally backwards by independence.

We are in the Mask Off stage of late capitalism. The point where there's no longer any pretense that prices will reflect the broadest possible access to the consumer but rather the highest possible profit to the producer.

Ironically this is how capitalism has worked in the third-world for ages.
