There’s a recurring pattern here: institutions often build strategies around the people they imagine, rather than the people actually in front of them. Once assumptions replace listening, even good ideas can miss what people genuinely care about.

A lot of the stuff that Longwell says Dems should do and fight for Abdul El-Sayed does but I’d bet money that she’s not exactly his biggest fan. Wonder why that is 🤔

Schumer and Jeffries need to go, its America not Israel.

i don’t think normal americans are looking to politicians for the answer, they see them as the problem. and nothing being said is addressing the problem of politicians

I’m 45 year old man with no college degree and I’m a progressive

I used to watch the Bulwark. I gave it a solid year I think. I always wanted to support it, but as a progressive I just can’t. The Bulwark is a shield for the status quo. They don’t want a future for all of us. They want a future that looks a lot like the present.

They need to get back to basics. Health care, workers rights, look after working class people. Jobs. Housing. Minimum wage. It is so obvious it hurts.

Progressives are winning. Centrism is a losing battle.
@
Who cares about what Sarah Longwell thinks?
@
Cannot wait until 2028 when these centrists have finally lost all credibility, unless their awful political strategies lead to a Tucker Carlson presidency.

I clicked the video then heard Sarah Longwell so I'm out
@
It seems like the more the interview went the more it shows she doesnt know what shes talking about. Between her own back peddling to fact checking to even the crowd she just seems like shes making it up as it goes.

Booooo for engaging never trump republicans (Sarah Longwell and the bulwark) and saying they represent the dem base. They’re the definition of centrist and would run back to GOP if trump wasn’t there.

Chuckie and Jeffries will be the parties downfall - they have to goooooo ....

A 2008 Republican is not a democrat. They lost their own party. How is their strategy supposed to save another? So silly.

You won the battle & lost the war.

I'm talking to a GOP strategist. Not talking to progressive democrats who actually win elections. No thanks.
