This new Politico poll should stop us all in our tracks!
50% of Americans are struggling to afford groceries, let’s start there. Then add the fact that we have a president who thinks we’re lying about it.
I’m just waiting for the next poll that asks, “Does the president care about people like me?”

There will be catastrophic consequences if Republicans don't join us to extend the ACA tax credits.
This is not about achieving a political victory for one party or the other – it's about coming together to act in the best interest of the American people.

Going to take a swing, again, at what I think is the one biggest thing the establishment DC Searchlight Abundance mod blogger Argument blob (aka everyone with money and audience, sigh) is getting wrong:
Their model of how voters' brains work is not how voters brains actually work. 🧵

The "partisans" (so many questions) are not wrong, moving to the center is not the Way to Win, and hello @nytimes.com Ed Board. Apparently we are at the phase of responding to an argument without responding to the actual argument. Our first time being subeditorialized! Fun.

Jesus Christ, public opinion is not some static thing that has to be “respected” by politicians.
Politicians should work to shape it, to make the case for their priorities and positions, to win over voters to *their* ideas not convince voters that they agree with them.
