Fox News caption: BY WINNING, DEMOCRATS ARE ACTUALLY LOSING

If there is any loss, it'll be like one poster said about the Dems failing to follow the Overton window left, but I think there's another possible negative; the pendulum swing.

Without Obama, there'd be no trump1. Without Biden/Harris, there'd be no trump2. If we shift far enough left, I'm concerned how far the pendulum will swing right afterwards.

This is not to say Zohran Mamdani's win wasn't wonderful and probably the best thing to happen to this country in... probably decades. I'm just acutely aware that this country is probably going to continue to be divided and will keep doing its craziness.

This is why Dems need to be the party of loud economic reform and quiet social advancement. We gotta stop ping-ponging, build a big tent for a new era. That means people staying on messaging and not attacking each other for differences of opinion. As long as we hold one progressive tenant, we're Dems. It's the words "we're dems" that matter.

Oh okay.

Well actually it's because the GOP won and is now losing. So it's a weird case of it's always projection.

You're right. I hadn't spotted that.
