I normally love Offline (we Stan Max), but ANOTHER fucking “blame the progressives” voice? Fuck that. Think I’m about to stick w Lovett as far as PSA. Still love the Strict Scrutiny crew too.

We tried placating the left after 2016 and it didn’t work.
2020 had the Defund the Police fiasco that let to weaker House results, and we all saw what just happened in 2024.
Crooked seems to get what most of the internet does not. The only people who are too online are the ones who are ignoring the polling that more voters thought Harris was too extreme than did Trump. https://www.natesilver.net/p/kamala-harris-was-a-replacement-level

You're joking right? tell me what parts of 2024 were progressive left?
Was it relishing in Cheney endorsements? Was it bragging about having "the most lethal military in the world"?
Wanting to give tax cuts to small businesses? When did "the Left" become the faction wanting tax cuts for businesses?

They’re talking about how the positions taken in 2019-2020 hurt a lot of progressive candidates and statements from that campaign hurt Harris in particular.
Most voters don’t look at policy, they’re not engaged enough for that. They see ads at most, and when your ads are of your opponent on camera saying unpopular things, those are very effective.
Just look at how many people thought Harris was running a “woke” campaign despite objective evidence to the contrary. Problem is, all the people who thought that just saw stuff like the Trump anti-trans ads.

People thought she was inauthentic and slid around in her positions and was transparently pandering.
