quote:

A group of Democratic strategists is trying to spread a novel organizing tactic in this year’s election. Technically, it’s called “paid relational organizing,” but it boils down to this: paying people to talk to their friends about politics.

Democrats think it helped them win the Senate in 2020 — and are hoping the get-out-the-vote strategy will help limit the pain of a brutal 2022 election environment.

really love the thread of "huh...we don't have a lot of accomplishments to point to...and we don't have le cheeto...huh..." running through the lib press

my favorite lib thought is the idea that actually delivering on things is a kind of cheating. part of their big problem with republicans isn't so much policy, their main objection there is they say the quiet parts out loud. their big problem is republicans actually try to deliver on the things they promise their constituents rather than just saying they'll do a bunch of stuff and not doing anything. actually passing legislation is CHEATING.

the lib brained "somebody DO something!" goes all the way to the top as we saw with biden calling for more gun control. like, you're literally the head of the most powerful nation on earth. make some fuckin phone calls or something. nope, "somebody DO something!"

The institutions and its process are sacrosanct to the liberal. If we can't arrive at the intended policy outcome via The Proper Channels, then either the policy was never good because it can't be accomplished through the liberal-democratic method and only things that happen via the liberal-democratic method are good things, because the ones that don't like the liberal-democratic method are cryptorussianfacisttrumpers.

there is no way to frame this in acceptable idpol terms. even acknowledging that you have some position on gun control is playing their game and you're going to lose because you are on the left and you cannot be allowed to win.

you are either going to confiscate every gun or you're going to put guns into the hands of criminals and school shooters. pick one.

there is nothing between these two extremes and whichever one you pick is going to drown your candidacy.

yea I should clarify I mean like 'in a vacuum', like, in a magic world where the DNC wouldn't have that person absolutely buried as soon as they said 'actually I think the best gun policy is a national registry and such but there's nothing wrong with the workers of the world and oppressed minorities being armed' but instead it was just about who appeals more to the dem voters.

i think if you're at the level of control over the us that you can establish a national registry of firearms, you're also at the point where the government isn't going to be using force on oppressed minorities

also the us has been transported to big rock candy mountain and we have universal health care and housing
