I'll say it again, Republicans came up with a narrative for people's frustrations (the problem is immigrants and other countries are cheating us on trade and something something trans people) while the Democratic messaging is "things are great now, don't let Trump mess them up".

I think it's also ironic how liberal people start sounding like conservatives when it comes to scolding Trump voters. "A Democrat is in the white house and you're struggling? Sounds like a skill issue. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps you bigot!"

It's like there's a sizable chunk of our party that doesn't want to admit the supposedly-sexist "Bernie Bros" were right all along. Zohran Mamdani's campaign should be the final blow in that battle. If we want to win elections, we need to run as new-deal Democrats.
