Narrative violation:
The leftist housing orgs also just completely swamp the YIMBY movement in total donations. It’s gotta be at least 10:1. PolicyLink is bringing in literally 10x what California YIMBY brings in. The YIMBY movement is *very* grassroots and poorly funded compared to its detractors from the left.

For those pushing that narrative “steady” meant “white” and “safe” meant “hwhiiiiiiiiiiIiiiIIIIIIIiiiite.”
I was just thinking about this. Stevens was seen as the steady safe hand despite instantly being the single weirdest human being anyone has ever seen and the closest analogue I have for her is Eric Adams
As an outsider, it seems like Hailey Stevens is giving some really strong, seriously dodged a bullet vibes lately.

Essential point here is that the emerging narrative downgrading a Dem win very much impacts what comes next
Good on Greg pushing back hard against the conventional wisdom in Dc already being set up to undercut any notion of a mandate for Dems to hold the Trump regime accountable for rein in corruption which has a direct impact on cost of living.
I also challenge this idea that if Dems win big, it'll be less a "blue wave" than just Republicans staying home. I note that D candidates are winning indys/driving voter enthusiasm (@gelliottmorris.com good on this too).

The Narrative™️ cannot fail. It can only be failed.
Watching Fox, CNN and MSNOW "centrist" pundits teeing up their "Dems better stay centrist" "analysis" (not the right word, of course) is not good for my digestive tract.

The BBC's current narrative is that national net zero regulations mean that councillors are forced to greenlight solar projects even when they don't want them - which is always for reasons of aesthetics. Their "hands are tied", you see. This is a Reform narrative.

The RBA is waging class war, and the Press Gallery are its spin doctors
The narrative about excessive ‘government spending’ is bogus

NBC letting Nikki Haley and Rahm Emanuel define the narrative for their election coverage (saying this is a victory for centrism and Democrats are deeply unpopular) is a choice.

But if Angie Nixon flips Florida, how will they sustain the narrative that DSA is an anti-Black organization that can’t get things done, unlike the DSCC? 👀😹🙏🏽

....literally where was this narrative in 2024 when Trump won in a very close election?
There's a difference between a blowout and a mandate. Confusing the two could tempt Democrats to overread the results and forget the serious credibility problem they still face heading into 2028.
Democrats could learn wrong message from a blowout victory
A big Election Night could mask the party's larger image problem.

If they get rebuked then the narrative about 2024 being a triumph of right wing cultural ideology crumbles into dust. The country actually doesn't hate immigrants, trans people, wokeness, etc. Or at least hates right wing governance more. Devastating to their foundational propaganda
The funniest part about the far right anticipatory meltdowns is that it's unclear how a much a Dem Congress even affects a president who has been governing for two years, with the blessing of the courts, like Congress no longer exists. Is this seriously the worst setback your psyche can process?

Kremlin-aligned bot network Matryoshka on X is exploiting the 'Azov Torture Chamber' narrative.
First Matryoshka post appeared long after the narrative got viral, so very unlikely it was people behind Matryoshka who invented the narrative.
