Let's say Harris won last year and Vance was holding 10k-20k person rallies where he railed against left-wing "oligarchy." Would the CW be that this was crazy and a waste of time? Or would we be seeing NYT op-eds and A1s about what "oligarchy" is and why the GOP base was on fire about it?

I’m a really annoying scold about this but politics is a public-facing business. The Republican who’ll whisper what he really thinks about Trump to a reporter, anonymously, doesn’t matter. The Democrat who won’t put his name on a quote criticizing their strategy doesn’t matter.

I'm in my 40s and have lived through three iterations of "both parties are the same OH WAIT THEY'RE NOT THIS SUCKS" (2000, 2016, 2024).

There's a world where Dems won the House 218-217 in November and Rs now have a working majority bc Grijalva and Turner died. Sorry to be unsentimental but I just don't respect people who run for office in their 70s after cancer diagnoses. Move on. Spend time with your family.
