Can they demand the interviews be held publicly?

They’ll soon drop the issue.

The Y axis label could also use some work....

I learned so much from him. Here's a great tribute vid from 2 years ago for those who didn't know him:

There is no way to express how important Mark Mellman was to me and my organization. I simply couldn't have been as successful without him. My condolences to his family, friends, coworkers and the many people Mark touched in his life. (4/4)

A documented by @dhopkins1776.bsky.social, there's no secret anti-women vote. We can simply follow the polls and when, like in July 2024, they said Harris would lose by less than Biden, but Whitmer would actually win, we should believe then!

Uh...that's referring to the bipartisan border bill that would have finally protected "Dreamers" in law rather than just executive action.

Beyond that it had little to say on immigrants currently in the US. Certainly didn't harm or "abandon" them.

This is a great example because Pete and Spanberger say the same thing, but you have them as examples on both sides.

They are acting on core values (liberty, fairness), listening to voters, ensure transgender Americans' access to healthcare, and would be infinitely preferrable to Rs.

I actually think it will be, but these legacy outlets are just too slow for our current media landscape.

While it's not exactly what I take from it, your statement is completely correct (except for abortion) vis-a-vis the 1000s of ad test results I've seen.

Not negative effects though -- ads *rarely* backlash. Close to 0 though

Right, but then ask, *why* is these are the conclusions they draw. It's because of the reems of data on issue importance and issue beliefs. If we learn those principles, we can be responsive to changing circumstances.

(Though I think abortion is placed in the wrong category here--it's a good issue)

Can you name one of those Dems though? Because it's hard for me to think of anyone who says "abandon immigrants." Many (eg, Gallego) say "secure border", but that's different.

I think we can make this more concrete if you have someone in mind.

1) Yes, issue importance is correlated with message effectiveness. I wish I had a good public citation for this. But...because we have ad testing tools, exact correl doesn't matter that much.

2) I think Deciding to Win has a bigger picture theme: listen to voters. We have many tools for doing so.

Well, good thing our core values and affordability aren't in conflict then!

What Dem politician--even the "moderate" over-performers--are you railing against here?

I'm just trying to understand who is making you so mad.

Because I have a feeling no one disagrees with this.

I didn't mean one post to imply "all of these people did everything right 100% of the time"...but actually I do believe they voted to protect democracy, just fyi:
