This is the first Democrat elected mayor in Miami since 1997. I hope the recent electoral bloodbaths are pulling libs away from the blackpill because these GOP losses have been really, really, realllllly bad. Considerably worse than what preceded the 2018 blue wave.
Trump was elected because of post-COVID inflation, not because he has built a growing and sustainable political movement or permanently shifted the demographics towards MAGA. He’s essentially already a lame duck president and the whole situation is genuinely pathetic.
The stream schedule last week was FUBAR due to some kind of boomer plague I contracted. Tomorrow we resume the normal schedule and hooo boy we’ve got some things to catch up on.
Swing by! Streams begin at 830AM Pacific/1130AM EST 🫡
There is no “we.” “We” are not collectively fighting Trump. I have gotten so many messages from people who were facing missed mortgage payments. Who were waiting in line for hours for food. Who were staring at their bills and asking themselves how they were going to survive another few days, let alone indefinitely.
*They* are the ones who are fighting. Not me. Not any elected Democrat. Not a single wealthy content creator or political pundit.
It’s hard for me to disentangle the Trump era demographic realignments from the entire debate. We have a new dem voter base that skew more educated & wealthy that are aggressively pushing for more fight that will result in…41M low income ppl losing SNAP benefits indefinitely.
I am genuinely not trying to moralize about this. Maybe somebody could make a persuasive argument that the short term pain could have plausibly yielded real concessions on the ACA tax credits. I haven’t heard any compelling arguments for that just yet but it’s possible?
I just personally feel a bit conflicted about demanding a prolonged fight when it isn’t my ass that could potentially lose government aid that I need to literally survive. And if this is about forcing pain, my YouTube friends, that *is* what is going to happen come January.
Republicans have decided to let the ACA tax credits expire. This was their decision entirely and democrats cannot force a different outcome. Premiums *are* going to skyrocket in January and voters *will* blame the party that had the power to stop that from happening.
The way this came to a close was very haphazard and incoherent. The senators they rolled out to justify their votes were fucking horrible at making the political arguments. And Schumer should definitely resign. That much, I am in full agreement with.
So what was the point of dragging it out? If you were actually thinking that the GOP looked like they were going to budge on the tax credits or nuke the filibuster, you would probably say there was no point at all. I don’t agree at all. For five weeks, democrats pushed the issue of these expiring tax credits front and center while Trump started construction on a new ballroom and threw a Great Gatsby party. His numbers have cratered. Americans know what is coming and they know it’s his fault.
Idk man. If I’m a Republican in congress right now, I am really not looking forward to January. What are they going to do? It’s going to be brutal for millions of people and those people are going to blame the party in power. That’s…not ideal for a party currently trying to figure out how a post-Trump GOP remains competitive a couple months after they got electorally slaughtered all over the country.
Folks! It looks like YouTube changed the way that ad placements work, so the way we’ve been placing ads has ended up being super spammy. Apologies for that! We’re going to tweak things so that doesn’t happen.
We appreciate your feedback on these placements. Please let us know in the comments of videos if you see that happening again because it is definitely not our intention to spam them.
I’m curious about what my audience thinks is the correct move for democrats moving forward. I have a question for you guys, and I’m going to review your answers to this post on the stream tomorrow for a video.
You don’t really tend to see seismic, immediate shifts in culture and politics as a result of a party or leader massively swaying the public with rhetoric. These shifts usually happen in response to impactful events that occur independent of the parties’ influence (9/11, The Great Recession, COVID, etc), yet I’m personally seeing a lot of people making the case for democrats pursuing this kind of influence strategy.
Is there a novel way to do messaging that democrats could employ? Are we in a moment that makes this kind of strategy more viable than it has been in the past?
One of the defining conflicts within the Democratic Party currently is the debate about whether we should meet voters where they are at vs shift voters on various issues through compelling messaging. This is the heart of what I want to hear your thoughts on. Which of these is the play? Why? Be detailed and explain why you believe what you believe. Vibes based answers get immediately DQ’d, I want to see numbers and historical reference ✌️

Just be honest about that 🤷🏼♂️
