Biden placed a very high premium on intra-coalition consensus. That’s not a formula that makes sense if your coalition is too small and needs to grow. We need to make some clearer choices and have some tougher arguments.
It’s not like a big secret what the federal budget goes to — if you want to cut this by a third you should be able to name which broad categories you have in mind.
When housing is blocked, there is a functional Malthusian limit. It doesn’t matter if growth is high or equitable. It doesn’t matter if the safety net is firm. Nothing matters, because the only possible economic outcome is that someone on the margin has to be worse off. 1/
Build modern factories in hollowed out towns Raise wages and give workers equity Massive apprenticeships for skilled trades
I was talking to one of our ESL teachers at the adult school I work at about how the vibe this time with Trump is much different with the students. He said that his class who is mostly undoc was in support of Trump, that they believe he will deport only the criminals, not them.
A Latino family who voted for Trump speaks out. Not going to lie—this is tough to watch. SPOILER ALERT: It was about the economy. Trump’s threats of mass deportation didn’t matter to them, as they believe it won’t affect their undocumented relatives, because they aren’t…
Brilliant comment from @NYTimes reader. “The very best thing that the Democrats can do for themselves is not ideological. It is to make the deep Blue cities and states where they have a supermajority into American paradises. Los Angeles, New York, California, Baltimore, Chicago,…
I actually do know what to do. It has to be a mass scale economic bill nye type show which is challenging in a fragmented culture but we have to reading rainbowize economics education expeditiously
*This isn't their fault but i don't really know how to fix it. i have made a ton of videos on social explaining tariffs but i think people hear what they want to sometimes. Put econ classes in the high schools.
I've been traveling the past few days (5 plane rides since the election, 2 universities) and maybe about 20% of people that I got to talk to really knew what tariffs were and what they meant*. They usually just thought it meant that a trade partner got punished by higher…
And @sacbee_news has learned how to misuse the question mark for website clickbaiting. Sad.
Our cost to build: ~$350k/unit Affordable housing project next block: $725k/unit And ours includes paying for land while theirs doesn't. If the government actually cares about building more and affordable housing, they need to radically change how it happens...
There has been a lot of strategic investment in a deliberate project of narrowing the progressive tent both by purging a few and by intimidating others out of speaking their minds and it’s basically worked. The problem is you just lose!
Don’t have the energy to rebut bad takes one by one, but if you look at the breadth of the loss across the map and come up with “one weird trick for how Democrats could have won by being more left-wing” then you’re just not engaging with reality — which I guess is your business.
This persistent desire to subtract rather than add voters is the Democratic Party’s worst political instinct. As the right assembles a diversifying coalition, some progressives ask how to purge more people from the left. Astounding.
THE SINGLE MOST PRESCIENT TWEET OF THE PAST WEEK. (please read this while wondering if Mark Cuban and Liz Cheney were good spokespeople)
Everyone hates the post election blame game and everyone hates primaries and everyone hates infighting but it’s genuinely the only way learning happens across political systems. How people interpret Trump’s victory will define the future of American liberalism.
"You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American" - Reagan, 1988
If you’re looking for an actual lesson from the rise of authoritarian regimes in the past, especially World War II, it’s that most people will follow the orders of whoever happens to be in power regardless of how they acquired that power
Prop 33 supporters are saying voters needn't worry about cities abusing rent control to kill off housing development b/c state law guarantees landlords a "just and reasonable" return on investment. If only they were right! 🧵/21.
I've heard there are already CA Supreme Court rulings that any rent control measure that doesn't permit a fair return on the investment aren't allowed. don't know the details there
