the goal should be to triumph over MAGA politics — its infatuation with conspiracy theories; its contempt for medicine; its reliance on made-up cultural wedge issues and racist nostalgia; its misogynistic outlook; and its anti-democratic bent https://t.co/oo02ldC9Ct — PolitiTweet.org

First, it would be a mistake to run purely as an alternative to Trump. The point is not only to snuff out his chance to return to the White House but also to prevent someone just as mendacious from assuming the 2024 mantle. https://t.co/oo02ldBBMV — PolitiTweet.org

In Putin, rightwing saw leader who turned nostalgia into a crusade and dominated politics thru bullying and disinform. Those qualities are now widely viewed as repulsive, dangerous and ultimately self-destructive. The authoritarian ethos is in retreat. https://t.co/OwfKo4KV27 — PolitiTweet.org

Wars have a way of rattling the status quo and reshaping public opinion.WW2 imbued US with unrivaled power and confidence and produced momentum for civil rights. In a similar vein, Ukraine might hasten an end to the great authoritarian surge https://t.co/OwfKo4KV27 — PolitiTweet.org

Autocrats’ vulnerabilities are laid bare. Brittle, blinkered and reviled, Putin stumbled into the moral indignation of democratic peoples, who have shown their economic might, their willingness to make sacrifices to their capacity for improvisation. https://t.co/OwfKo4KV27 — PolitiTweet.org

As intriguing as the international ramifications might be, the heroic Ukrainian resistance might impact the United States domestically in ways we are just beginning to grasp https://t.co/OwfKo4KV27 — PolitiTweet.org

@rickhasen fabulous argument for term limits and mandatory recusal rules. What is he doing on ANY Jan. 6 related case?? — PolitiTweet.org

When Res are in power, they create division, conflict and chaos. They are not on your side. That’s it. A simple dichotomy. — PolitiTweet.org

Ds need simple message: When in power, they make government work for ordinary people and defend American values (democracy, opportunity, fairness). They solve real problems. https://t.co/Qkhma8eVHd — PolitiTweet.org

consider the many Republicans who love former president Donald Trump but now dislike Vladimir Putin and admire Ukraine, whose leadership Trump tried to extort in exchange for political favors — PolitiTweet.org

What’s a policymaker supposed to think about such head-scratching results? Maybe they shouldn’t spend much time thinking about them. Aside from serious sampling issues pollsters have yet to resolve, it’s far from clear that voters even understand what they are asked to opine upon — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger

Voters, most of whom do not follow politics hour by hour, are unreliable indicators of what they want. Just look at their poll answers. https://t.co/bBEvFUkOoE — PolitiTweet.org

At its most basic, Democrats must convince voters they are on the side of regular Americans — making progress and solving real problems (e.g., jobs, covid). — PolitiTweet.org

voters in a (stupid) nutshell: According to ABC News/Ipsos data, 70% disapprove of Biden's handling of gas prices, though even more respondents -- 77% -- support his proposal to ban Russian oil, even if it means paying more at the pump. https://t.co/R4xeDZemIb — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger

any conclusion this is “something of an accident" utterly ignores the virtual village of lawyers, democracy advocates, individual citizen activists, etc. collectively resisting R efforts to deliver House maj simply by virtue of clever redistricting. https://t.co/9BPH1R58RK — PolitiTweet.org

This is part of larger problem covering two parties that don't equally respect truth. Their obligation is to tell the truth, not to provide cover for disingenuous politicians. They should be on the side of the reality, it’s Republicans own fault if they get caught denying it. — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger

In framing as a political story of “GOP claim vs. White House defense” variety, the media provides demonstrably false accusations with oxygen, tilting story in Rs' favor, misinforming the public about issues surrounding “energy independence” and pricing. https://t.co/aEzuK39vgv — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger

if GOP talking points are factually incorrect, why does the WH press corps repeat them, giving them legitimacy? It is part of a familiar pattern in which mainstream TV reporters and White House press equalize the two political parties. Republicans say X; the White House says Y. — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger

But the rest of the White House press corps and cable TV news outlets also habitually repeat GOP talking points on energy, even as reliable print media debunks them — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger

Unsurprisingly, the most egregious examples of the media regurgitating right-wing talking points on gas prices often come from Fox News. The “news” side of Fox serves as a content provider for the MAGA propaganda machine. https://t.co/aEzuK39vgv — PolitiTweet.org
