“…the share of Democrats identifying as liberal climbed from 33% in 2005 to 59% in 2025. The challenge: Among voters overall, the share identifying as liberal is just 28%.”
That’s why beating GOP requires #BigTent

The "Politics of Evasion" is back
Progressives are trying to co-opt the Big Tent narrative while dodging unpopular issues they use to exclude

NEW: My #SkiffCast Interview w/ @liamkerr.bsky.social
on the trials & tribulations of pushing the Democratic Party to the competitive center. thedispatch.com/podcast/the-... @thedispatchmedia.bsky.social
My favorite part of the Deciding to Win report by @simonbazelon.bsky.social @liamkerr.bsky.social and Lauren Pope: A working definition of moderation!
"Being moderate means taking popular, heterodox positions—not defending the establishment."
🚨 Donald Trump and the Republican Party are damaging our economy and threatening our democracy.
Democrats need to learn how to win again, but they can't do it with the same old tactics and candidates.
Here's exactly how Democrats can start winning: www.welcomestack.org/p/introducin...
ICYMI: Tom Suozzi was one of the only members in 2024 to go on offense and take the issue of immigration head-on instead of pivoting or ignoring it.
Let’s make sure he wins again in 2026. www.welcomestack.org/p/the-tom-su...
Up North, we celebrate the Revolution, but whisper about the Civil War.
As West Point re-hangs a portrait of Robert E. Lee, it’s time for Democrats to rediscover the other Union pride.
And give credit to the Southern Unionists who made the difference.

Why is Mamdani pivoting to the center?
Look to AOC campaign doc for the “Signal” vs. the Substance

And the first state to vote in the 2028 presidential primary will be ...

Starting in 2032, the White House will look like the Senate.
That should make Democrats nervous, and force changes fast. www.welcomestack.org/p/896-white-...
With 896 until the first 2028 presidential primary votes are counted, the read of the day says ...
Starting in 2032, the White House is just like the Senate
The current Democratic coalition is shut out without a ton of luck

There is a big debate on moderation wining elections
Today's read of the day is from Noah Smith: does moderation lead to better policy?
www.welcomestack.org/p/898-modera...
"Literally everyone is triggered"
Wouldn't it just be QIA+ voters who'd be offended?
Did moderates just dominate social media for a day by putting out a verbal blacklist?
Sure seems like it

WAR isn’t just about identifying Democratic overperformers
It helps identify weak Republicans who can be beaten

Tom Suozzi was one of the only members in 2024 to go on offense and take the issue of immigration head-on instead of pivoting or ignoring it.
He over performed then. He's going to win again in 2026.
We are proud to endorse him today. www.welcomestack.org/p/the-tom-su...
You’re talking about this Glenn Elliott?
"Strategist versus organizer"
"Their consultants are garbage"

Trump’s second term is six months old today
His numbers?
🔻 Approval down
🔻 Even base is softening
🔻 Every issue down, even immigration
But somehow… still more popular than Trump I.

ICYMI: Janelle Stelson is back and ready to finish the job.
She is running against one of the most extreme Republicans in Congress, and ran in one of the closest races in 2024.
She can win in 2026. www.welcomestack.org/p/janelle-st...
Of the top 16 House fundraisers, 100% of GOP money is going to competitive races—while 91% of Democratic money is going to safe seats.
Democrats are funding viral videos and list buys. Republicans are funding battlegrounds.
This is a problematic trend.
Centrist Democrats in purple states and districts face a conundrum: They know Republicans will tie them to Zohran Mamdani and paint them as radicals. But "It’s hard to distance yourself from cool." as @liamkerr.bsky.social told me.
