thank god the mainstream press is feckless and irrelevant
Donald Trump has warned of 'radical left communists' and called newly elected Michigan senator Abdul El-Sayed a jihadist. But they are outliers. Most of the Democratic lawmakers who were swept to power in the blue wave of the midterms are moderates. ft.trib.al/uhtivqc

Abdul is bringing shitlib Bluesky discourse into the mainstream and I love him for it.
El-Sayed: "If he wants to pass Trumpcare for All, which will guarantee healthcare to everyone, and put his name on it like he's putting his name on everything, I'm game"

They all sound like Bernie and @zohrankmamdani. Wild.
Feels like just a few years ago Bernie & @aoc.bsky.social were treated as radicals for calling out the oligarchy. Now it’s the *moderate* position.
THAT is leadership.
Progressive is mainstream.

A related corollary: Bluesky was extremely strategically important in early 2025 because it allowed us a direct pipeline to activists that was almost entirely ignored by mainstream journalism and conservatives, which meant we could scale to Hands Off/No Kings size before anyone noticed 
Near-total ownership of social media platforms backfired on Republicans in the midterms, convincing them they were building a thousand year Trumpenreich by being the biggest assholes imaginable (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

How exactly are we defining "mainstream" in a country where the majority of voters want Medicare for All, support taxing the rich, and oppose ICE, the war in Iran, and military aid to Israel?
I am not sure people like Jonathan Chait are mainstream any more.

i think the thing that has yet to break through beltway commentators and the green room set is that el-sayed's position is *mainstream*. it is arguably the view of the *median voter*.

maximum opposition to the gop program on every front. promotion of liberal populism. constant chattering to frame issues and go after the mainstream media for propping up the right.
Considering Democrats' approach to dealing with Trump from 2019 through 2024, what recommendations would you make to Democrats today?
What lessons did we learn that you think it's important for elected Democrats to internalize? Anything at all?
I'd love to hear from anyone and everyone here.
