That dynamic where the left-liberal alliance was against Trump, in going in on it the left showed its hand that their goals were incompatible with liberalism before they could fully co-opt
The way there are actually several fracturable lefts, and they’re starting to realize that staying chained together helps them come up together but will drag them down together too
And the liberals don’t come when they cry “wolf” anymore (even when there are wolves)
The way courts AREN’T a reliable Dem shortcut anymore and Biden’s trying broad “It’s the economy, stupid” to beat polarization, constrained to what you can sell in West Virginia
The way Substack is offering itself as our ‘80s TNR and Matt Yglesias our Michael Kinsley
This is exactly the bankshot you had to make, and then Donald Trump came down an escalator
