My hope for season two of House of the Dragon is more politics and not just interpersonal conflict. https://t.co/edPXtY6Bec — PolitiTweet.org

It actually seems really obvious to me that a good outcome *for democracy* would be for vocally pro-insurrection Republicans to do markedly worse than average so that in the future the party nominates fewer crooks. — PolitiTweet.org

They faced a tradeoff “do we run ads about the issue corners say they’re most interested in (inflation) or do we run ads about our best issue (abortion)?” And while of course they did some of both, abortion was by far the top issue they advertised on. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Sorry to be clear when I say I think Democrats’ tactical/message decisions have been effective what I mostly have in mind the decision to run tons and tons and tons of ads about abortion rights. — PolitiTweet.org

The bigger, but more boring, question for the next two years is can we improve productivity and real incomes — but that I think we know is a big deal without needing to know the details of the election results. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Anyways we will know results soon but that’s how I’m thinking about the baseline — I don’t think external reality has changed much since Youngkin won so we’re trying to see if messaging and tactics have generated improvement in electoral fortunes. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Inflation hasn’t really improved since then nor have the Dem candidates in NV/PA/AZ/GA/NH/CO made some huge ideological break with their party. So if Dems get a “normal” bad result (like in the @FiveThirtyEight forecast) I think that shows pretty good tactical messaging. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

It’s hard to know how to evaluate campaign tactics/strategy separate from more fundamental issues so I want to pre-register something — the VA/NJ results from a year ago suggested a really catastrophic national political environment for Dems. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

At least one progressive group *already sent out* its analysis of why Democrats lost the midterms because they weren’t progressive enough. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

@asymmetricinfo I think it’s probably the right strategy, the message battle on crime and inflation is fought and won (or in this case lost) in the earned media. — PolitiTweet.org

I voted McDuffie/McLaughlin for at-large council in the only contested race. Also cast a meaningless protest vote for the Republican sacrificial lamb in the DC Council President race to be bipartisan and because the incumbent is meh at best. — PolitiTweet.org

@alon_levy I mean should America do immigration reform? Yes. But there’s no “try” to do it, it’s not reconciliation-eligible or something Joe Manchin is interested in. What they should have done is try harder to win races in 2020. — PolitiTweet.org
