Jfc, politics isn't therapy, we're never going to interrogate our trauma or whatever. You get in and you do as much as you can before subsapient swing voters get bored of you.
Real talk - I worry that winning will paper over our party’s bigger problems and slow us down from doing deeper interrogating and work necessary to build long-term sustainable power, let alone what we need in order to win in 2028. amandalitman.substack.com/p/…

Handing the world's most powerful military to a failed businessman and a bunch of Fox News personalities is going about as you'd expect and the Saudis out here being the last people to realize putting your faith in Trump never ends well.

NEW @CookPolitical: 2026 mid-decade redistricting has yielded a House map that's more Republican and less elastic. We're out w/ our new PVI scores, and Dems now need to win 57 of 77 seats in the R+5 to D+5 range (74%) to win a House majority. cookpolitical.com/cook-pvi/i…

Non-voters have been studied to death and they come in two varieties: people whose politics are bizarre (e.g. single-issue fireworks legalization voters) and people who simply cannot grasp that politicians control the government.
"MOST PEOPLE DON'T VOTE. MOST PEOPLE DON'T VOTE BECAUSE THEY ARE TO THE LEFT OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY." -@BootsRiley spitting about the fact that many people on the left do not want to vote for a party like the Democratic Party, a party that is not truly oppositional.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Over 64% of eligible voters turned out for the 2024 election.

Non-voters preferred Trump by a 14-point margin in polling in 2024, and generally have more moderate views than voters overall.
