We’re about to see a political economy theory tested in real time.
Most of the climate money in the IRA went to red states because it’s easier to build there. The IRA’s framers knew this would happen and liked that as insurance against Trump retaking the White House. 1/3

The issues for @TheDemocrats are core. Their power brokers are not liberal, not progressive. "We Have Never Been Woke": Symbolic capitalists construct myth about genuine fairness/equity while entrenching inequality and injustice, working-class abandoned. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

It's late stage capitalism, but demagogues will give you some easy peasy scape-goats, like undocumented workers, Haitians, "communists" or Trans people. theguardian.com/business/202… @cspan @cspanwj

I'll tweet it for the umpteenth time: @TheDemocrats power brokers are center-right, not liberal, not progressive. And they've moved here at a time when the old guard kinder/gentler Republicanism they're mimicking is as popular as dog poo. jacobin.com/2024/11/2024-ele… @cspan @cspanwj

Just to clarify: this isn’t just the first time since WW2 that all incumbent parties in developed countries lost vote share.
It’s the first time since this data was first recorded in 1905. Essentially the first time in the history of democracy (universal suffrage began in 1894).

MAGA was constructed on & continues to thrive on believing whatever claims validate their worldview & structuring of power, irrespective of reality.

I hope the GOP nukes the filibuster to pass whatever immigration bill they have cooking.
But Senate Dems will probably just vote for it because the “lesson” with this party is *always* “move further right until you’re like the Republicans Trump beat.”

This is what I wrote in 2021. I was ridiculed and worse.
I am from Nuremberg. I stuck my head out and called for strategic price controls because I had studied the history of inflation and inflation control for years and was worried inflation would bring Trump back.

Pretty much exactly the race we expected: Rs grow their cushion in rural areas and make gains w/ urban non-white men, meaning Ds *must* run up historic, landslide margins w/ suburban women.
Can Harris outrun Biden by 4-5 points in those big metro counties? That's your ballgame.
