The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

my heart is raw today, so I’m sharing a new interview that gave me hope about how we treat each other. thanks to @deanspade.bsky.social for chatting about why changing our romantic and personal relationships is political work, and his new book Love In A F*cked Up World @teenvogue.bsky.social

my going explanation for this is that it is sociological. pundits overwhelmingly live in culturally liberal urban areas where they are constantly exposed to a certain progressive cultural milieu in extremely high concentrations. they feel deep resentment and this is projected onto reactionaries!
Is there a psychoanalytic read for the impetus, seemingly ubiquitous among the US pundit class, to automatically exonerate those on the right from any responsibility for their decisions, viewing them as somehow perpetually besieged and behaving in reaction to a morally oppressive left?
