There's a increasingly wide gulf between what you might call "local abundance"—which largely consists of liberal and progressive activists and local electeds trying to do YIMBY-type things—and "DC abundance," which hosts conferences where Oren Cass is a speaker for some reason.

A platform where Jamelle Bouie is one of the most influential and respected people is one that is going to cause discomfort for a certain kind of liberal (or person who thinks they are liberal). Yes, Bouie is black, but what these people really reject is strong criticism of America's status quo.

We’re actually not in an AI race with China, as can be seen in how instead they're investing in things that actually matter like green energy and bio tech. Which we won’t do now because the residents of Slotkin's state decided they wanted to commit mass suicide so it could be 1952 again

It's not even how they would behave if they had brains that worked and wanted to win the midterms by as much as possible.

This is not even remotely how opposition legislators behave if they actually believe they're in a constitutional crisis.
The Dem Senate leadership's unbelievable negotiating position is that they will give Trump everything he wants except that they demand: an extension of Obamacare subsidies so that they expire right after the midterms, not before. This sounds like political malpractice on several levels.
