"You’re going to read a lot of coverage over the next several months about what truly matters to voters in 2024. A lot of this discussion will rely on polls that ask for people’s subjective statements of their priorities (“Oh, the biggest issue for me right now is inflation/abortion rights/Gaza/whatever.”)

Just don’t assume that those are the issues that will actually affect their choices on Election Day."

A Democratic Senate that will bypass the filibuster for critical democracy boosting legislation is within reach, IF Joe Biden is reelected and Democrats retake the House.

Restoring voting rights, restoring reproductive rights, making DC a state and reining in an out of control, corrupt MAGA block on the Supreme Court are all hanging in the balance.

There is no question that given the chance, Republicans, including the guy responsible for the Dobbs decision overturning Roe, DJ Trump, will outlaw all abortion with no exceptions and be coming for contraception too.

He's doing his very best, even if many think he falls short.

"Further still, another four years of Trump judicial appointees would make governing all but impossible for any Democratic administration that follows Trump — assuming that Trump would leave office on Jan. 20, 2029, and that a Democrat is still able to succeed in the electoral process as it exists at that point."

A good piece on how logically corrupt were the MAGA six in ignoring the night and day difference between civil and criminal legal processes, processes they oversee and exercise near complete control.

Once again they will look into their bag of whole cloth constructed "conservative" legal doctrines and pull out whichever is close enough, slap it on their cherrypicked history and dishonest reading of the fact record.

Who would be best for the US economy? Well Biden of course.

"Trump’s vow to corral immigration might sound like he’d bring order to a chaotic situation. Yet there would be an economic cost Trump doesn’t acknowledge. The US needs more immigrants, not fewer, to offset a declining birth rate and an aging population and help pay for the retiree benefits of the next several decades."

When I ran for state senate a long time ago, I told voters I was running as a practical liberal (progressive wasn't yet a thing). Find programs that work and replicate/expand them. Unsurprised that today's Republicans are the antithesis of that.

Basic income programs work, in the long run generating substantial returns on the investment. We absolutely should do more of what works.
