For all the talk about the intolerant left, silencing Plouffe seems to me like a very Stalinistic move.

Good thread this morning by @wdlindsy featuring opinions that push back on the emerging blame the Democrats narratives being offered by the media about why Harris lost, and suggesting instead disinformation, delusion and a compliant media is at the cru...I mostly agree that the focus should be on how to defeat fascists. We only disagree on how that's best done.
I think you can only defeat fascists with some measure of accountability for what happened. Accountability for the media, absolutely, but also for whoever dug the hole that Plouffe referred to.
I think Plouffe was right, and silencing him will do nothing to help Americans to confront fascism.

"When the dust settles, I expect the people who assess elections will tell us disinformation was key in 2024.Not at all. The latter is a consequence of the former.
The existential threat is possible and has happened because of the elitist Democrats, not despite of them.

In 2016, resistance meant defiance.Not sand. Wrenches.

Not sure if you are aware, but the Harris evening rallies have transformed into really cool productions including celebrity guest speakers and musical acts.@mastodonmigration @KamalaHarrisWin
If Democrats found a way to keep doing these popular events throughout the presidency of Kamala Harris every other week, or every other month, the nazis have no chance.

"MAGA’s closing pitch to voters: economic pain and health care sorceryHey, at least that vastly underestimated pain on the rest of us will help Trump get out of debt, and Elon Musk will be twice as rich as Jeff Bezos!
It's not without an upside!

So here is some really simplified elections math...On Election Day in general elections, voters in Georgia are completely free to vote for candidates from any party, regardless of any past primary participation or party affiliation. This system allows a registered Republican to vote for Democratic candidates, or vice versa, according to personal choice.
My hunch is that many conservative men are going to be surprised there. I can't promise that it will be enough of them, but hopefully a measurable number of them.

"MAGA’s closing pitch to voters: economic pain and health care sorcery@wdlindsy I might add that four full years of Trump rule weren't uncharted territory, but a Prologue including the death of one million Americans through neglect and despondency.
And a little bit of hate too.

CNN/SSRS Northern Battleground Polls Update - Harris Up MI +5 and WI +6This is in line with expectations and probably closer to reality for people who are ignoring GOP-financed polls.

So, just had to share this with you.@mastodonmigration @maxkennerly
It's what you get if you discount the rigged polls.
