People should listen to @steveschale.bsky.social

I love it!!!

I Worked for Joe Biden. I Love Joe Biden. He Must Rethink His Post-Presidency. I understand his desire to defend his legacy. But he needs to do it differently.

Great read. Really. @steveschale.bsky.social

How do you nail a post-presidency if you're Joe Biden? Solid ideas from @steveschale.bsky.social, who worked for him and loves him: Lean in to decency, empathy and the stories of everyday folks, and leave the legacy litigating to others. www.thebulwark.com/p/joe-biden-...

This has been the choice for far too long…

Gotta agree with @steveschale.bsky.social on this: focus on beating Republicans, not on intra-Democratic civil war. bluevirginia.us/2025/04/wedn...

The latest edition of The Home Front Podcast is up now! Join me and @steveschale.bsky.social for a discussion on why the Democrats' super pac set up sucks, how FL went so red so fast, and why the 2030 census matters so much. Watch, like, and subscribe! youtu.be/TiKlKO-Kd8c?...

Such a brilliant discussion of the modern tension in this moment of political fundraising and organizing in the party.

I don’t believe in moral victories or participation trophies. There is no glory in the battle fought, but lost.

But mostly, I wish we could find away to harness the enthusiasm to support necessary organizing, and not just races we were never going to win.

There's a lot of complaining about "Dem consultants," often by the most progressive voices. It's really annoying when they don't go after shit like this, especially in context of @steveschale.bsky.social s point over at the bad place.

I haven’t been inside the FDP in 15 years. But think it gets blamed for a lot when in reality it has never had enough money to be worth a shit

Took a journey to snowy Macomb County, Michigan to try to understand what happened in a county that voted for Obama. Twice.

This piece in Puck, based on focus groups by @steveschale.bsky.social paints a picture in which many voters broadly think Trump is at least showing he's active, energized; they're think Musk is a destructive weirdo and are very worried about ... puck.news/what-swing-v...

Duuuuuuuuuuval!

Good piece today from @steveschale.bsky.social about last night’s DNC Chair forum and the electoral implications of this…

“Just this week, data showed Republicans gained about 1,000 net voters in New Mexico in the last month, and flipped voter reg in Hillsborough County [Florida] from a Dem plurality edge to a GOP one.”
