#Triangulation
Our well picked battles and deft strategic maneuvering. Their craven lack of principle and cowardly triangulation.

Hey Murkowski and Collins, maybe this whole 4D chess triangulation thing isn't working and is actually really bad for the country.

weird but the one guy on this list who is eschewing the weird third-way triangulation thing in favor of unapologetic combativeness toward the billionaires everyone hates is the only popular one on the list

oh well only thing to do is keep doing the third-way triangulation thing, per our consultants
Bernie Sanders: +10
Hakeem Jeffries: -3
Donald Trump: -7
Mike Johnson: -9
JD Vance: -11
Chuck Schumer: -15
Elon Musk -17

why am i the only that thinks that high inflation and fundamentals matter more than like, triangulation
“The folks who are most to blame about Trump are the ones who pushed Democrats to take indefensible positions,” Mr. Jentleson said, citing a series of positions Kamala Harris took in 2019 before walking back many of them once she became the Democratic presidential nominee in 2024."
Sorry, i don't think the solution to "why we have such low approval ratings as a party" is shifting our message to "we're actually not much different from Republicans, and are also willing to put vulnerable constituencies in harm's way." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/u...

Triangulation now! Triangulation forever!

Death to Carville-era triangulation.

We have to articulate our full-throated support for a liberal, diverse, pluralistic democracy, or we will not have a democracy.

less triangulation, more Battle Hymn of the Republic

this is exactly it. it's triangulation entirely based on the vibes of their twitter feed

I think this is absolutely right. They memorized the lessons of that era — triangulation, bipartisanship, government is somehow shameful — and can’t adapt to the very different world we’re now in.
IMHO, most of the Dem leadership came up through the ranks during the Reagan years and started getting seniority during the 1994 shellacking so a fighting retreat is their standard tactic. They don’t do brinksmanship well.

This shit is sparking a civil war amongst Ohio progressives, this is *exactly* why we CANNOT CANNOT CANNOT tolerate triangulation and disingenuous bullshit like Amy Acton
1. In major news, the Ohio Dem Party has banned the Progressive Caucus from criticizing candidate for Gov. Amy Acton's transphobia.

It has now applied more pressure to quiet criticism of anti-trans politics than it has on its own nominee to stop embracing them.

Not bad for the first pass at triangulation. 😎

New Dem triangulation strategy just dropped.

When I say that Democrats should do smart triangulation, this is pretty much the opposite of what I mean. It's neither smart nor actual triangulation. Portnoy is not going to hand out favors to Democrats who boost him, and not enough of his followers care for it to be worth it.

It's 2025. We're done with 2024-style triangulation and half-measures.

Stand up or sit down.

There's a lot of this about. It's the way people think when they assess politicians by their capacity for triangulation, rather than their performance in a department.

Triangulation Efforts Deteriorate

A hallmark of narcissistic manipulation is triangulation—pitting people against each other to maintain control.

As their cognitive function declines, their attempts at manipulation may become more obvious and less effective, leading to outbursts when they fail.

Yup. The politics of triangulation over regime change.
Post-1960s liberalism has a “Morning Joe” problem, an ideological commitment to bipartisanship rooted in the belief that politics is better when it balances Republican and Democratic ideas and values. So you have a Gingrich Republican hosting MSNBC’s flagship morning show, for instance.

Triangulation.

Hey look it's the reason Democratic triangulation fails:
New piece from me: GOP support for bombing Iran rose between 30 and 50% this week — MAGA is not so isolationist after all!

This is a classic example of party identity trumping values.

No triangulation on trans liberation
in the wake of Amy Acton's anti-trans turn in Ohio, I will re-up this @bostonreview.bsky.social essay where I make the case that abandoning trans rights is BAD POLITICS for Dems, as it will turn away their own pro-LGBTQ base w/o winning over a single new voter... www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...
Trans rights aren’t tanking the Democrats.

both the WaPo and NYT editorial boards have advocated for MattY-style triangulation
I'm wondering what media industry yglesias has been monitoring. was he awake in 2024
