Georgia-based Republican strategist John Mason Long said Greene's evolution to work with leadership without alienating the base is smart, given the current dynamics where the House essentially needs the entire conference on the same page.
"What she knows she has to do is be an effective legislator," he said.
🤨
Greene's political stances do not differ that much from the anti-McCarthy holdouts, but Long, the Georgia-based strategist, said the decision to wield her influence to be constructive within the party instead of obstructive will likely pay off in the long run if she has aspirations for higher office.

Right now they can't, which sucks, but politically they are still doing quite well. The reason they lost the house beyond the normal midterm bias against incumbent majorities had quite a bit to do with gerrymandering. Thats why they were able to slightly expand their senate lead (where gerrymandering can't effect things) despite losing the house by a few seats.
But if you can’t hold on to both houses given how bad the GOP has become it’s probably time to rethink you’re approach
Well, if you want to look back on how we achieved a supermajority back in 2008 it was because the party had a platform that was more centrist than it is today and they invested in running conservative "blue dog" democrats in red states. So yes, there's certainly an clear evidence that the party can do better electorally by more directly shunning progressive candidates and more openly embracing and financing conservative candidates.
But somehow I don't think that's what you mean, is it?
I'm certainly up for the democrats trying to do things better but any analysis that doesn't take into account a realistic assessment of the right-leaning electorate in the country which consistently disproves polling about issues with their votes is not being realistic. | [

But after 2008 dems proceeded to lose 1,000 seats in 2016. I don’t think running centrists in red states is the answer. What I mean by meeting people where they are is addressing issues that affect democrat and republican voters alike. Child tax credit, universal pre-k, parental leave, things like that. If BBB had passed I thinks dems would have done a lot better in the midterms and maybe even held onto the house. | [

But after 2008 dems proceeded to lose 1,000 seats in 2016.
Yes, because the Republicans were very successful in framing Obamacare and the democrats under Obama as "socialists" and radically left. That's what the success of the tea party campaign was. They sure as hell weren't running in 2010 saying that democrats weren't getting anything done, their messaging was all about liberal overreach.
hat I mean by meeting people where they are is addressing issues that affect democrat and republican voters alike.
Possibly. There's very little evidence that passing good legislation ever changes voters minds. It certainly didn't help in 2010, after the most productive congressional session in a generation. Passing terrible legislation like the crime bill and wall street deregulation in Clinton's second term didn't get in the way of them winning the 1998 midterms. People tend to vote based on media narrative.
We didn't have a big enough majority in the senate to pass BBB. It's amazing anything at all got passed with a 50-50 split. If people wanted BBB and all the stuff that Republicans blocked the past 2 years, they should have voted to increase the dem's majority instead of giving it to the Republicans who blocked it. | [

Legislation and rhetoric are very different things. You were using legislation as examples.
Yes the GOP's rhetoric is more effective than the dems. But the reason for that is not because the rhetoric itself is better crafted. The reason is because Republicans have an entire media apparatus at their disposal that is incredibly well funded and entirely ideologically dedicated to promoting Republican rhetoric. There is essentially no left-wing or center-left media organizations outside of some podcasts that qualify as this for democrats. The news organizations that right-wingers decry as left wing propaganda (NPR, NYTimes MSNBC, CNN) are all simply centrist / attempting-to-look-neutral and do not engage in the kind of demagoguery on behalf of any political party that Fox and - more importantly - right wing AM radio stations do.
Your rhetoric will be way more effective when you have a multimillion dollar national bullhorn working for you every day. | [

They do have the legislation for the most part.

Honest question, how long must it go on? If the conflict continues as a war of attrition how will Ukraine keep up with replenishing their troops and personnel with 1/3 the population of Russia? How many Ukrainians must die fighting over a stalemate?
But I’m sure the revolving door of defense officials and military contractors don’t care for these questions as long as the money and weapons keep flowing | [

Well what's the alternative? If Ukraine stops fighting, their land and people are occupied, and we've seen endless examples of how well Russia treats people they've occupied, hell even how they treat their own people.
If Russia stops fighting, life goes back to normal and internationally recognised borders are restored. | [

The alternative is to simply invest in Ukraine.
Every war is an infection. And every war is eventually a war of economic attrition.
To treat both you simply invest as close to the point of infection as possible.
Every dollar invested in Ukraine is like a bullet fired 3 times. Ukraine is making their own barayktars, and overhauling Russian tanks.
They are one of the smartest, most creative and industrious fighting forces in world history.
Just give them the investment to bolster their economy, producer their own machinery and stabilize their currency all at the same time.
They can do it and Russia can’t because Russia only knows corruption and corruption breeds economic attrition.
Hell the same entire Russian fuel and maintenance budget turned into an oligarchs yacht.
Just because we have done war the same way for 5000 years doesn’t mean we can’t change it up.
Invest in humanity. It really is that simple | [

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 87%. (I'm a bot)
Ukraine has urged world leaders to intensify efforts to remove Vladimir Putin's troops from its soil as the country's war with Russia dominated the first full day of the gathering of the global elite in Davos.
Ukraine's first lady, Olena Zelenska, used a special address to demand that those attending the World Economic Forum use their influence to end Russia's aggression.
Fatih Birol, the executive director of the International Energy Agency, said Russia's invasion of Ukraine triggered an energy crisis on an unprecedented scale.

A Friday off gives you two Saturdays. A Monday off gives you two Sundays. Saturdays are relaxing because you don’t have to work the next day, while Sunday always has that pre-work stress creeping up. Ergo, Friday is the better day off.
Additionally, a four day work week that starts on Tuesday feels rushed, because everyone (where I’ve worked, anyway) is trying to catch up/make up the missing work day. A four day week with Friday off feels normal, except maybe a few hours on Thursday. Ergo, a Friday off has a much less stressed work week. | [

I don't really get why you would feel pre-work stress if you know you don't work monday (maybe initially but I doubt you feel like that throughout the day). I mean even sunday blues usually only comes in the evening.
For the second point, I can see why certains workplaces have that rush, but I don't see why it wouldn't apply to friday aswell. It is interesting to see your perspective, but to me it has the opposite effect. | [

Fridays give Muslims and Jews their day of rest off, while Monday is not sacred to any religion. For example that allows "fly out Thursday night, return Sunday" if you wanna travel on the three day weekend but don't travel Friday night or Saturday. Much more workable than "fly out early Sunday and return Monday." | [

It's because they can't afford to run or live off the income. Most local and town government elected positions, which would be stepping stones to state legislatures and beyond, are part time and pay little to nothing which requires you to hold a full time job on the side. I would love the opportunity to help run my community, but I can't afford it. This opens the door to the already rich, or... concessions to donors who are paying for their vote. It doesn't help that we as a society have been brainwashed to believe politicians are overpaid, so we vote against any politician who supports pay raises, which leaves us with those who don't need the money in charge. | [] |

Texas' state legislature meets every other year from early January to late May. Pay for a full two year term in the legislature is $45,000 ($22,500/yr).
That's not a living wage, especially with the need to live in your district while also spending six months every two years in Austin. At the same time, good luck leaving your day job for six months every other year to go serve in the legislature.
It's basically a system designed to make it impossible for a normal person to serve in the legislature, even if they could somehow get elected. | [

Where are you getting this number? I'm seeing it come up here as median House chamber salary, but that's for staffers and not members. NCSL has base legislative pay for Texas at an even lower $7.2k a term, although the $221/day per-diem does bring that up to a bit under $30k (assuming no special sessions in that 2 year period and that the per-diem isn't paid for weekends).
But at least their mileage reimbursement clause has a separate line for aircraft fuel. Lol. | [

Ah, I Googled in a hurry and may have misinterpreted. My bad, thanks for the correction.

From column:
Last November, America elected its first Gen Z member of Congress: 25-year-old Maxwell Frost of Florida. Frost is a natural on social media, and his presence in the halls of power makes Congress feel a bit more relatable for Americans in my age group.
Recently, the congressman-elect struck a nerve on Twitter when he shared his trouble finding an apartment in D.C. due to his accumulated debt and a poor credit score. That’s relatable, too.
About five years ago, I sat in my college dorm room and heard President Obama tell the nation that if we were disappointed in our elected officials, we should “grab a clipboard, get some signatures, and run for office” ourselves. I did just that and defeated an opponent who had been in office for longer than I had been alive.
Nearly every week, I get a call from a young person who is thinking about taking the same leap of faith I did. I share the story of how I hired my college roommate as my campaign manager, and how we helped break a tie between parties in the state senate. I tell them that I had the chance to enact free community college, and today thousands of students are pursuing a degree that they otherwise would not have been able to afford. I talk about fighting to lower housing costs as the only renter in the senate, and writing a new law to electrify school buses, remembering the diesel exhaust from the school bus I rode not too long ago.
But when young candidates ask me how to afford a campaign, I don’t have any good answers.
I won because of Connecticut’s public financing system that puts 22-year-old candidates on an equal playing field with 22-year incumbents. But most states don’t publicly finance their elections, meaning candidates turn to their personal bank accounts or wealthy networks in order to afford television ads, lawn signs, campaign staff and the myriad of other expenses that come with running a successful campaign. Those expenses lock too many people my age out of office.
Our country needs young policymakers. Gen Z lawmakers know what it feels like to participate in a school shooter drill, so we fight with urgency for stronger gun regulations. We know how difficult it is to afford a degree in the 21st century, so we push for student debt relief. But most young people can’t afford to run for office, and almost none can afford to win. | [

The problem is that wealth in our society is like a piñata. We cracked it open in the 50s, and everyone rushed it and took all they could. Now, new generations are showing up trying to collect some but a bunch of boomers are standing on the side with their buckets of candy telling the newcomers they should have worked harder like they did.
Wealth is not unlimited and people hoarding it keeps the rest of us from being able to obtain it. | [

It's not even just young people. They don't want average people running. That's why the system is designed such that corporate America has to purchase candidates via donations.
What we need is a complete nationwide public campaign financing system that's fair, equal, and has no strings attached to policy stances or any other criteria. It should be completely abstracted away from the candidates.
Don't ask me who would pay for it... or how. I don't know (maybe ask Connecticut?). But that's what we'd have if we want fair equal elections rather than a choice of candidates backed by corporate America rather than ordinary people. | [

If we implemented national campaign finance and election advertising rules, we wouldn’t have to pay for it. Elections cost a fucking fortune in this country, and most of it goes to ad buys. If we get campaign commercials off the airwaves (please dear god), people will have to elect politicians based on the issues and their platforms. We just need to make platform info readily available, and it can be largely summed up in a handout at the voting place. We could save ten billion dollars every election cycle (more on Presidential race years) by doing this. | [
