And I’m being serious. I feel like there might be an argument there, I just don’t understand it. Can someone please “steelman” that argument for me?

    I said months ago that we were going to “single issue” our way to Trump 2.0, and I’ve never ever wanted to be wrong more than when I said that.

    Edit: Updated with receipts.

        I could say something witty or sarcastic, but you’ve probably already thought something along the same lines. I’ll just leave a facepalm emoji instead.

      nearly all the single-issue voters on the right vote in lock-step unison, and have for decades.

      democrats and progressives seem to just toss in the towel if they aren’t getting everything they want, right now.

      it takes time to build something great, it takes but a moment to destroy it all. welcome to total destruction.

        Everything being ‘dont genocide’ just so we’re clear here. I dont particularly think that was a huge ask. Nor do i think effective economic policies changes for the working class.
