And this is so obnoxious because actual-politics is kind of a fucking layup right now.
Your opponents are running a historically corrupt government.
Be anti-corruption. Run on fixing the shit they broke, holding assholes accountable, and improving people’s lives.
Duh.

It’s a slogan for political operatives who think campaigns are won and lost based on placards and stump speeches.
It tells no story. It has no anchor in the actual world we actually live in. It is a type of politics that eschews being actually political at all.

“Strong floor, no ceiling” is absolutely the type of slogan that a focus group of swing voters will tell you they find appealing after it has been a whole hour and they just want to go home.
It’s a slogan for people convinced this country *really* wants a Mike Bloomberg presidential campaign.

This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.
"Woke is ruining D&D". Meanwhile Dimension 20, one of the wokest real play shows around, just sold out Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl for live shows and brings armies of new players to RPGs.

of course much of the history of this country is full of white supremacist horror
but you don’t have to pretend otherwise to say we can and should be something else, you don’t have to hand it to the worst people alive

The ship has already sailed on deliverism, nobody will be able to argue convincingly that it has a chance of working. But "vengeance for the million dead" (USAID) remains a strong possibility.

the interesting thing is that Dems actually do have a track record of trying to correct for what they think the errors of the last admin were
so it’s very important that the next standard bearer believes that error was “not going hard enough on Trump” rather than “centrism was failed”

The thing is that Doing What Must Be Done is genuinely really hard and requires extraordinary political will! Biden tried to at least make a stab at it, but fell way short.
There's SO much inertia in favor of "ignore it and hope it goes away"

other big companies (Google, Meta) are built on top of money spigots in the form of advertising
OpenAI needs to make money on AI itself, and a lot of it
and I’m no longer convinced ChatGPT is the leading model even if it still has somewhat of a first mover advantage
