"It is absolutely right to emphasize the importance of respecting #voters, and try to understand them, rather than assuming that those who disagree with you are stupid or racist. But voters are not going to tell you how to #govern the country. It is not their job. Relying on their opinions to try to deduce what to do leads not only to incoherence, but to a negative loop."

Via #RawStory - March 31, 2025

The #Canadian government is bombarding #voters in key swing states with anti-trade war #propaganda as President Donald #Trump vows to enact his biggest package of #tariffs yet next month.

Multiple #media outlets are reporting that #Canada is paying for billboards and signs across the United States that bluntly inform Americans that "tariffs are a #tax" on items ranging from gasoline to groceries.

Joyce Vance Voter Suppression
Requiring “voter ID” is one of the oldest plays in the tired Republican playbook of voter suppression that long predated Trump. In fact, putting an ID act in place was the impetus behind the Shelby County v. Holder case that led to the SCOTUS’s 2013 ruling gutting the Voting Rights Act. The Alabama legislature had passed a voter ID act. But ..

"On one end are white men without four-year college degrees. This is a generally blue-collar demographic that is now deeply aligned with Trump and opposed to progressive politics. On the other end are white women with at least four-year college degrees. This is a more affluent demographic that has been racing leftward, particularly on cultural issues, and is squarely opposed to Trump."

Buying the vote
muskwatch.com/p/musks-politica

"In #Wisconsin, an #ElonMusk -backed super PAC is offering registered #voters $100 in exchange for their contact #information and signatures on a petition...

So far, America PAC and Building America's Future, a Musk-backed nonprofit, have spent $20 million combined in support of Schimel.

...the PAC can use the program to hoover up contact information to email, call, or text voters before election day"

"And the fact that so many voters seemed oblivious to clear signs about what #Trump would do if he won ought to inform every discussion about how to #oppose him...

the #voters who have most to lose from this extremism didn’t notice...

#WorkingClass voters didn’t notice.

What all this says is that the priority for #Democrats isn’t to pursue whatever you think is a better #policy mix.

👀 It is to get voters to notice."👀

Text from article(edited for length): And the fact that so many voters seemed oblivious to clear signs about what Trump would do if he won ought to inform every discussion about how to oppose him. ... But I can’t help noticing that the inverse correlation between how Americans voted in 2024 and their real interests makes it clear that two of the main factions in the intra-party debate about Democrats’ next moves are talking nonsense. On one side there are relatively conservative Democrats and Democratic-leaning pundits telling us that the party must move to the center. But when it comes to Social Security, which is really important to most Americans, Democrats — who want to preserve the program — are very much in the center, while Republicans — who want to kill it — are extremists. Yet last November, the voters who have most to lose from this extremism didn’t notice. On the other side there are progressives who argue that Democrats are in trouble because they abandoned the working class. But even if you think that Democrats have been too friendly toward globalization, or deregulation, or low corporate taxes, the Democratic Party has been far more favorable to workers than the Republicans. The Biden administration was especially pro-worker. But working-class voters didn’t notice. What all this says is that the priority for Democrats isn’t to pursue whatever you think is a better policy mix. It is to get voters to notice.

Musk tries to buy a Supreme Court
charliesykes.substack.com/p/el

"Musk... so far spent more than $11 million...

One Musk-backed group... is running deceptive #ads that claim to support candidate #SusanCrawford but are actually designed to alienate moderate #voters by claiming that she supports a radical #progressive agenda. And now, #Musk is offering #Wisconsin voters $100 to sign a petition against “activist judges”"

Sub-heading and text from article: Musk tries to buy a Supreme Court I have lots of stories about Wisconsin Supreme Court elections, but my favorite is the one about Trump and the prom tweets. Back in 2022, Trump endorsed a construction executive named Tim Michels for Wisconsin governor, because he was angry that his opponent’s daughter had gone to prom with the son of a conservative Supreme Court justice who had ruled against Trump’s election lies. You may need to read that twice.

Almost halfway into this episode.

Among a lot of interesting things Nesrine Malik says on the present political situation, she has some very good political advice for politicians like Starmer and Timmermans, who think being centrists, or palatable to centrists, is the way forward for the left.
