The Democrats had a great election day in virtually every race last Tuesday, but there has still been a lot of talk about what this means for Democrats and the Left going forward. Josh Marshall clarifies the strategy perfectly:
A number of morning-after reviews I’ve seen say that the Democrats had had a great night but still hadn’t addressed their “civil war” — the battle over whether to run “moderates” or “progressives.” Is it a future of Spanbergers or Mamdanis?
That doesn’t seem quite right to me. They have a pretty good model: find candidates suited to their constituencies and focus on cost of living issues and opposition to Donald Trump’s autocracy. Full stop. It’s not more complicated than that. That’s your opposition message.
Focus. Keep it simple. Stay woke!
