I think this is also a correct critique of the legislative strategy on BBB which was too focused on "pressuring" Manchin with no leverage rather than figuring out what was doable.
“Dems overperformed macroeconomic predictors, it was a global inflation-driven anti incumbent wave that nobody could have survived.
But also to be competitive in 2028 dems must subsidize race science and conversion therapy and eliminate all taxes past 200k.”
