Will 2026 swing seat Democrats have the courage to say they’ll abolish ICE?

Bluesky demands answers.

It might not be aesthetically pretty but a new city like this in West Texas would simultaneously solve America’s housing shortage while giving people the kind of housing they want.

Democrats can't solve their problems with economic populism if it isn't also accompanied by cultural moderation.

Pairing economic populism with cultural leftism does a net of 49 points worse overall, 27 points worse among persuadables.

The real fight in Democratic primaries isn’t exactly left vs. center. It’s Bro Socialist (Platner, Mamdani) vs. Wine Mom Resistance (Crockett, Mills).

Bernie Sanders was right when he agreed with President Trump that if you don’t have borders, you don’t have a country.

Democrats should moderate just like Trump moderated the GOP by adopting positions taken by the old industrial unions.

Don’t listen to Jennifer Welch on what the Democrats should do.

Listen to me.

It’s true, I’ve endorsed Deciding to Win.

Either I’m sincere but I know that by going public Dems will do the opposite, or I’m being disingenuous and I actually think you should move left.

Either way, Republicans win.

Democrats should talk about kitchen table issues and not democracy or institutions

The debate about the future of the Democratic Party begins and ends with this photo. All they’ve gotta do is turn the clock back 30 years and do exactly what he did.

In a world of Jimmy Kimmels, be a Jimmy Fallon, a reliable stalwart of apolitical mainstream acceptability

The concerns you have for the death of democracy are invalid

Believing that 40% of your fellow countrymen are fascists, racists, bigots instead of something closer to 5% isn’t just misguided.

It is hate.

Silence isn’t violence.

Free speech isn’t violence.

Disagreement isn’t violence.

Only violence is violence.

The Intersection’s way-too-early 2028 Democratic primary model Yes, it's next to impossible to predict. So what?

To win, Democrats need to simply move to the center.
