The hellish Sweeney news cycle is a helpful microcosm of how Dems simply can't win culture war fights - even if they see that the 'liberal' take is dumb & opt out. Or as I call it: “The left and the right are clashing over x. The left is an Oberlin sophomore and the right is the governor of Texas.”

over and over, MAGA's abuses are insanely diminished by grotesque exaggerations

It has always been thus and @mattyglesias.bsky.social can’t answer why this happens to be a bigger problem for Ds than Rs when he insists Ds should do “popular stuff” and say “popular things”. Why do Ds have to account for everything and Rs don’t?

Your first mistake is assuming the Democrats are 'left'. They aren't. Theyre just the tassel-loafer fascist faction who moon over a woman, Kopmala, who destroyed more black california families than the kkk, as opposed to the jackboot thug fascist faction that does the same given the opportunity.
