minus-squarebloodfartlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down6·8 months agoThat’s not what I’m talking about. Media saying that it’s fine democrats are pursuing wildly unpopular policies because they have a durable support base is bad. It doesn’t matter if it’s true (it’s not) or if that kind of thinking has been the norm in Washington forever (it has). You never want to treat voters like they don’t have a choice, even if you believe it. This is how they turn a huge swath of potential electorate into “Biden, hell no” people, just like me.
