The idea that focusing on race/gender matters more to educated Dems than working-class voters is basically a polling truism at this point. But a lot of people on here won’t accept this and even still can’t believe this is now displayed amongst working class voters of color.

We have a test coming up of whether people engage with politics primarily to help people in need or as a form of self-expression.
Lapse of SNAP benefits this weekend is prompting soul searching within Senate Dem caucus amid broader fight for ACA tax credits “How am I supposed to choose between those two constituencies?” Warnock asked https://t.co/Qf92gl1xQR

Democrats wanted a fight over health care, but it's the millions of people who rely on food assistance that could suffer the immediate consequences of a government shutdown.

Highly-educated Democrats have very different priorities and policy preferences than Americans writ large. The mood in our circles/social media feeds is not a reliable guide to public opinion https://t.co/PV1ELJkIbD

If a party adopts unpopular positions to motivate non-voters to vote, they should bear in mind that this might also involve motivating non-voters to turn out to vote *against* them.
The idea that Democrats can dispense with persuading heterodox swing voters -- by moving left to mobilize its progressive base -- rests on nothing but bad intuitions, per @simon_bazelon's report https://t.co/PV1ELJkam5

Party platforms aren't the direct message the public sees, but they reflect how party elites project their ideology and deep think. Liberal elites took the wrong lessons from Obama, believing American believe cultural diversity matters more than economic prosperity and strength.

Talked with @NYMag about why Democrats need to start treating voters like adults- listening and responding to their concerns, even when it’s inconvenient (1/6)

In our housing poll, folks also said building new housing increases crime. The spectre of crime influencers so many issues, even as crime is down
I actually think it’s underrated how much anti-immigration attitudes are driven by concerns about crime. Great post today on this by @lxeagle17 with new polling from @TheArgumentMag!

True economic populism looks like @RepGolden. Unfortunately he's currently getting primaried from the left, and I haven't seen anyone in the econ populism faction defending him.

Fetterman won PA by 5 points and was the top senate performer by WAR of 2022. Ymmv after that. But if we are talking about wining seats…
John won all 67 counties in PA in the primary, and by the largest margin of any Dem senate candidate in Nov. Conor Lamb has the personality of a stale saltine cracker and would very likely have been smoked by Oz. This is a perfect example of how DC-brain keeps losing elections
