11. We need to win elections by large margins
Fri Nov 28, 2025, 11:43 AM
Friday

Here we go again. Trump's just hacking brains as usual. Exploiting deaths to push a disproportionate agenda response or grab mindshare is as old as the hills. Everyone does it. Us too. It's a curse that feeds on innumeracy (especially a lack of sense of proportion), emotionalism, and opportunism. It makes the world "make sense." SMH.

I really want Democrats to get back working- and middle-class real-world issue dominance ASAP. We really do have a problem here, Houston. We've got AI coming. We've got healthcare going nuts. We've got Social Security to fund. We need to gut check. I don't want to win 2026 by 5% by lazing away and relying on Trump being a boogeyman. I want us to make people take a second and third look at us and like what they see.
