Get ready for a renewed debate on the left about expanding the size of the Supreme Court -- some progressives have been preparing for it, and there were signs of it gaining momentum even before this week https://t.co/iJaD2MXTh9 — PolitiTweet.org

also a question of how much Dems lean into that message, rather than an exclusive emphasis on how abortion can now be criminalized, women/doctors punished, elected officials now get to tell women what to do with their bodies — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

one of the pertinent political questions after this ruling is how much the public believes contraception/same-sex marriage/other rights might also be revoked, in a way that could alarm some voters otherwise ambivalent about the ruling (or concerned but not panicked about it) — PolitiTweet.org

i'll let the legal minds assess the importance of this to future jurisprudence ... ... but politically, it's a passage that is going to receive a lot of attention over the next 6 months/2 1/2 years/foreseeable future — PolitiTweet.org

NV endorsement from Sanders's old campaign manager (Sanders won the state easily in 2020). NV's advocates at the DNC meeting made a forceful case Wednesday that the state should go first in the Dem presidential primary — PolitiTweet.org

It’s happened a few times this year when GOP candidates slip back into 2010/2012-style fiscal rhetoric and it’s always a reminder that party’s Romney/Ryan era wasn’t actually that long ago (just feels as if it is) — PolitiTweet.org

there are a lot of comments like this in my mentions atm, from young Dem staffers pointing the finger back at the party's campaigns for failing to provide adequate salary/benefits for the jobs — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

One note on how much campaigns/committees have grown: In Oct of 12, the DCCC had 156 paid staffers. It's up to 305 now, just 10 years later. That's emblematic of how a lot of campaigns have grown lately https://t.co/fZsqTne8YP — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

But Ds say they've had to raise staffer pay, with some entry-level people making $50k or more. And as one Dem put it, a lot of people who don't have much experience are receiving "battlefield commissions" this cycle, being promoted into senior roles — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

(that is apparently a bipartisan problem -- Rs say they are encountering same thing with their own younger staffers).. So what does it mean, ultimately, for 2022 midterms? Not exactly clear, in part because the campaigns themselves only matter so much — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

there is also a generational rift, with older staffers accusing younger counterparts of an unwillingness to leave DC to work a campaign up close. "It’s a shame how many ... turned down amazing opportunities because they weren’t willing to hit the road.” https://t.co/fZsqTne8YP — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

One operative who helps train D staffers estimated he has at least 1 talk a week, usually w/a senior-level staffer, about a bad case of burnout. At least one former campaign manger quit after winning a high-profile primary to become a pastry chef in Paris https://t.co/SeuN1mBgOQ — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

But beneath that, Dems say their ilk - young and old alike - are suffering from widespread problem of burnout, exhausted after Trump, worried about '22, and maybe above all throttled by COVID, which changed the campaign experience (and not for the better) https://t.co/SeuN1mBgOQ — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

At the heart of the Democrats' problem is there are too many jobs - driven by having to staff the WH while the average size of campaigns/committees swells - and too few people to work them - driven by a tight labor market affecting all sectors of economy https://t.co/SeuN1mBgOQ — PolitiTweet.org
