@TylerDinucci Yeah, this was a theme when I was out there in 2016. I went to Colorado for a Jill Stein swing and both she and her voters often said it was a safe year to vote third party bc Trump wasn't going to win. 2016 Green vote in CO: 1.4% 2020 Green vote: 0.3% — PolitiTweet.org

@realchriswilson Right, I often get people saying "she gave a SCOTUS speech in Wisconsin and the media didn't cover it." But if a candidate drops a message, voters/media conclude it isn't a big part of their campaign. — PolitiTweet.org
David Weigel @daveweigel
Toward the end of the campaign, Bernie Sanders stumped in swing states and made the "court is at stake" argument. But by that point a lot of people were already doom-pilled and convinced that this was just uniparty scare tactic crap. https://t.co/53pGnjzlrs — PolitiTweet.org

So you got stuff like the "We Need Nine" campaign, a liberal project that just argued that there should be nine justices - no political or ideological reason, no sir! And you get Dems never bringing it up at the convention. — PolitiTweet.org
David Weigel @daveweigel
This is a rich topic. The answer that makes the least people mad on Twitter is that the Democratic strategist class was scared of its own shadow, and didn't want to make the race a SCOTUS referendum bc it believed that motivated Rs more than Ds. https://t.co/81jwMmxd07 — PolitiTweet.org

@daveweigel How did people not turn out in 2016 when there was literally the control of the entire Supreme Court on the line?

It's an aspect of DeSantis's rise - he's benefited from the growth in conservative alternatives to MSM and he's helped it along. — PolitiTweet.org
David Weigel @daveweigel
Another funny aspect of this - DeSantis mentions that a big boost for his campaign was Fox News hosting the 2018 gov debate at that year's Sunshine Summit. The network put candidate facts onscreen that showed "exactly the contrast we were looking to draw." — PolitiTweet.org
David Weigel @daveweigel
DeSantis mentions this 2022 event (the Sunshine Summit) in his book, but says only that recommended "that conservative media moderate the debates" between candidates. He went further. Conservative media moderated - and only conservative media was allowed in room. — PolitiTweet.org

@crawlings13 White progressives voted for Garcia in 2015, considered him in 2023, then he ran a flat campaign and they migrated to Johnson. — PolitiTweet.org

Do you know how bad 17% for an incumbent is? Abe Beame got 18%. — PolitiTweet.org
David Weigel @daveweigel
@jmart Right but he held on to very little of what seemed to be loyal progressive support. Once he stumbled the Lincoln Square voter was saying "let's go Brandon." — PolitiTweet.org
David Weigel @daveweigel
@TOzinga Polling has been all over the place but the numbers I saw had Vallas beating Johnson. Vallas is better known, ran more ads - makes sense. Johnson's runoff strategy is to brand him as a right-winger, and hope that a city that gave 83% of the vote to Biden doesn't want that. — PolitiTweet.org

@SethAMandel @billscher Right, and it was so avoidable that a lot of liberals fantasize about ways to reverse the damage. Too late. Gotta keep winning presidential elections until you replace Alito and Thomas. — PolitiTweet.org

Lightfoot was never going to make the runoff with 17%. Strategy was to drag Garcia down and eke into a runoff w Vallas as others split vote. But Garcia was weaker than anyone appreciated; plenty of time for progressive voters to switch to Johnson. https://t.co/hKQK8G3mWv — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats' bad luck was that 1) they nominated an unpopular candidate in the crucial election for SCOTUS control, 2) that candidate was star-crossed (pneumonia, multiple email hacks), 3) Ginsberg didn't retire strategically in 2014. That's the story, not very complicated. — PolitiTweet.org
David Weigel @daveweigel
People say this but it worked for the GOP! There was no 10-point calvinball strategy, just McConnell getting the majority and blocking nominees, then Trump getting elected. https://t.co/kHThaZoRCS — PolitiTweet.org

@SpaceRocket_Man @CarlBeijer The first election I voted in was 2000, so the erasure of George W. Bush from GOP politics - and his emergence as a Good Old Days guy for certain liberals - always blows my mind. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias But I'm mostly talking about activists who say "we should improve conditions in this city" and can actually achieve their goals through DA and elections. Counterpoint is Greta Thunberg, who became deeply depressed when she learned about climate change. https://t.co/47UV8Pfziu — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias People doing direct action still talk this way. (We are unstoppable! Another world is possible.)

@CarlBeijer Patient Zero was Trump, who claimed to have opposed the Iraq War even though he didn’t. In DeSantis’s book he has only a little detail about his Navy career but digresses into how bad Bush’s second, hawkish inaugural was. The Am Con/Buchanan take is now the official take. — PolitiTweet.org
