Before Zohran won & Eric was saying moderation was key, @perrybaconjr summarized the Bonica-Grumbach thesis: 1 Be interesting w/ media 2 Run against establishment/wealthy 3 Recruit candidates on vibes, not moderation or fundraising 4 Focus on low trust/young Welcome Eric!
Zohran was an unusual Democratic candidate, in that he was good at speaking off-the-cuff about his agenda to a wide variety of different audiences. It would go against the party's recent playbook, but Democrats should consider nominating someone who is good at talking in 2028

This debate about the role of non-profit interest groups and Dems is missing the point. It’s a symptom of a much larger problem—hollowed out politics. The Dem side political practice (often driven by donor advisors/firms) abdicates actual politics in favor of the *appearance* of
Could not agree more with @AJentleson here: “In politics, winning elections is the moral imperative. You go into this business to change people’s lives for the better. That means changing policy, and to change policy you have to win. Those who would rather lose elections so

In order to vote in his first election, my father paid a poll tax. My dad. Not my great great grandfather, my father. He is very much still alive. He voted today. No poll tax required. I am so proud to his daughter.
Something to ponder as you head out to vote today, for free. In the Library's Rosa Parks Papers collection, there's a receipt for the poll tax she had to pay to vote in Alabama in 1956. Poll taxes, a Jim Crow-era voter suppression tool, were not abolished federally until 1964.
