Liberal Establishment NYT Columnist Thomas Edsall: Democrats Can Beat Republicans with One Easy Trick -- They Just Have to Adopt Republican Positions on the Three Most Salient Issues Confronting the Nation.

Oh, is that all, Tom?

The odds of Democrats repudiating their left wing-- which is now the wing, the body, the beak, the tail, and half of the other wing -- is the same as future Senator Bluto's GPA at Faber College. Zero point zero.

Wesley Yang points out that Edsall is attempting to square the circle by offering the nonsensical "compromise" that while we must "respect" transgenders' gender fantasies, we should also completely ignore them.

Okay but then how is that "respecting" anything?

Their fantasies are false. Period.

And telling the truth is respectful.

13 If Democrats hadn't gone open borders, the public would probably have been more open to other Democrat policies they pushed.

But, Democrats won't back off from it.

The Italian Democrat Party is the model. They've gotten steadily less important since the late 2000s as they've embraced open borders to the point where they can't get anything done in the Italian parliament. Nothing will reverse their descent, it seems.

Once you go open borders, nothing will convince you to reverse, it seems.

29 So, on immigration, they'll "close the border", "get rid of the worst of the worst", and amnesty the others. They could get the party behind that at least until after the amnesty.

On crime, they'd allow requiring bail (for felonies) and prison (for multiple violent crimes) - and these would, in no way, be affected by plea bargains.

On trannies, they'd take the most leftward position of the middle possible.

Sounds a whole lot like saying "The problem is the messaging, not the message" which has been the Dem position forever.

=======

I strongly suspect that the Democrat brand is broken for a while. Just...broken.

Biden's open borders killed it. The rest are side shows (the embrace of transgenderism didn't help at all), but the core of it was the open borders. Everything about life in America got worse, and everyone could point to immigration as a proximate cause most of the time (people won't make the connection between immigration and inflation, but it's also a major contributing factor there, too, especially since so much government money went to support the new, replacement population).

Texas border counties went from hard blue to light red. The Hispanic move against Democrats was solidified by a few elections in a row where people were voting Republican, creating a lifelong pattern.

And, the face of the party has gotten...awful. Biden glitching out at the debate. Kamala cackling. The women and minorities who screech all the time. The terrorism sympathizers.

It's bad for them now.

Transgender activists have taken the maximalist position that if they don't get everything they demand, they're victims of genocide.

The left is really good at silencing their crazies when they want to. Just look at how they basically made climate change a non-issue as soon as they decided they like AI and that needs data centers and electricity. But I don't know that they can silence the transgender activists.

=======

Trump has forcibly deported about 1.2 million people since he took office, and the pace is increasing.

3-4 million more have left (self-deportations to forced is usually a ratio of something like 3:1 to 6:1, so trend towards the low end for safety).

That's over 4 million left in just over Trump's first year, most of which was with reduced ICE funding compared to post OBBB funding. It's going to get faster, especially with new Treasury regulations that tell banks to treat illegals as financial risks, denying them accounts and loans, cutting off illegals (and even some classes of legals) from the American financial system.

Democrats can't stop this if they gain Congress.

Lots of people are leaving. It was so bad last year that America lost population for the first time in decades on net.

No. Send them all back. I don't care if you've been here 50 years. You had 50 years to legitimize your presence. Go home.

If they REALLY wanted these illegal aliens in the US, they would have introduced legislation to raise the immigration quotas when they had control of Congress, which would be the first step in truly legitimizing them. They prefer these aliens to be illegal, because they can control them.

But Congresscommie cocksuckers are all a bunch of cowards. They know damned well that their constituents would vote their asses out of office if they tried.

90 The last time Democrats triangulated towards the center was Clinton, and that was seen as a brilliant political move on his individual part because he was a really good politician.

The environment is all different now.

They don't have someone in power now like Clinton was then to force a party-wide shift.

Their media ecosystem is much more overtly leftist and actively shouts down those who betray the narrative, as opposed to the 90s when they were mostly just ignored.

The funders of the party are insane leftists and won't give real money to actual moderates (even Biden had to shit all over his "moderate" record as a Senator in 2020 during his primary run).

The party can't moderate without a black swan event. And that's not going to be Wes Moore.

109 Dems could (just as easily) start calling illegals "unauthorized invaders", or "invaders without papers", (because they threw out their papers into the Rio Grande, though their home country still has copies of those papers).

But they prefer to call American citizens the invaders, who "stole" everything they now call their own. But most of what the white man got they either settled, or they purchased it from Indians, for pretty Western things, and metal objects like guns and farm tools.

Massasoit said the Indians' problems would not come from the white man, but from other Indian tribes. The white man simply had the superior culture, and Squanto and others said they would rather live in white man world, because it was far superior. Most of those noble savages were more savage than noble.

151 I actually don't mind that there are trannies who dress up as women. For two completely different reasons:

-- 1. There is not, nor should there be, a "national dress code." Everyone should be free to wear whatever clothes they want. And fashion constantly change. A century ago ,it would be nearly unthinkable for a woman to wear pants -- now it is the default clothing for women. So if a dude wants to wear a dress -- hey, not my bailiwick. go for it.

-- 2. It is actually very useful that crazy people self-identify by dressing up as the opposite sex. Saves me the effort of trying to fifgure out who is crazy or not. So if a crazy dude wants to wear a dress -- excellent, now I know he is crazy, and know to avoid him/not-hire him/shun him/laiu8gh at him.

And if he goes into the women's bathroom or locker room-- arrest him.

I still maintain that a Democrat who advocated for "closed borders, all the welfare, only welfare for Americans," would actually do really well with the middle part of America.

The problem in developing someone like that is that the Democrat system is designed to suppress anyone like that, and the money that would fund sudden black horse candidates like that wouldn't fund such a candidate, and if one did decided to, they wouldn't be able to overpower the anti-side of it within the Democrat media ecosystem.

They'd get shouted down and ignored faster than their message could spread, plus the creation of personal controversies that make the person untouchable.

I think I need to amplify this.

Fascism is not what the Dems pretend it is. It is a nihilistic doctrine that the only thing that could stop a State is the State itself. There is nothing but the state where the state decides to act.

But to Dems "fascism" is that government that has been invalidated and we all agree is not allowed. Thus, the only value they have for "fascism" is not the meaning itself, but government that is not how they would choose to run things. If you want to run things with the "frozen force" of government in a way that they do not want to comply with, that's the government That Should Not Be, and thus, "fascism".

That's the only use they have for "fascism", is a government (force) that does not act as they would have it.

Particularly, a government that is an expression of an expectation of restraint. Now, restraint --that's real "fascism"!

But

1. Sexual arousal is "good".
2. Is a man gets sexual arousal from feeling like a woman, why do you want to police that?
3. Our society should be more gender-bending, because gender isn't really real.

And anything that works for #3 is "progress".

Thus, women's feelings of being "creeped on" take second place.

The ads were for 2024, and the GOP won that year.

The specific ads using Dem quotes didn't work, but the overall effort to paint Democrats as not being supportive of Americans did.

274 He wrote a similar article a few weeks ago for the NYT. Internal Lefty power struggles:

A Working-Class Party Without Many Workers. In 2021 the DSA was 85 percent non-Hispanic white (national average 58%); 9 percent were Hispanic, 5 percent Asian American and 4 percent Black.

Liberal stands on immigration, transgender rights, abolishing ICE and defunding the police are supported largely by a well-educated elite of white people holding professional jobs. They are not the policies sought by the construction workers riding the subway to get to their job sites by 7 a.m.

income and education patterns emerged in the Seventh District, where the DSA candidate (Valdez) crushed Antonio Reynoso, the Brooklyn borough president, 56.1 to 35.8. Valdez won 62 to 28 in the district’s high-income neighborhoods and 64 to 27 in its high-education areas, while Reynoso carried the low-income sections 63 to 31.

What’s notable but not written about is that nearly all of the D.S.A.’s serious primary campaigns are aimed at members of the House Progressive Caucus, not the more moderate House New Democrats. Support for Medicare for All, Green New Deal, Abolish ICE is no protection.

This tells you that the Dems realize they've reached the peak of their ability to manipulate the voter pool by bringing in illegals, at least for the time being.

Edsall walks the line. "Okay, can we agree that letting in child rapists is bad? How about if we agree on that, and then we let the rest of them stay? Is that a good compromise?"

296 Vengeance, yes, Pol Pot also smiled. That doesn't change the fact that Mamdani's smile is an effective political weapon. His beard works, his volubility works, his acting talent works.

297 BTW I’m going to remember to smile, grow a beard and tell everyone at my next speaking engagement we are going to stick it to the man by taking his money, and handing it out to all the unproductive people, then use power to destroy the country. I’m gonna wear a nice suit to, you know just for dramatic effect. They are gonna love it. I’ll be mayor of the universe.

298 Unauthorized immigrants with no criminal record who have been in this country for at least five years, along with Dreamers, should be offered green cards with a path toward citizenship”

What about the people that went through the process properly and are waiting for a green card?

The illegals who want a green card should self deport and make request for temporary visa and green card with a waiting period of at least a year after they deport. I would be willing to give them more consideration after they do this since they would have shown the responsibility we want from a citizen.

299 290 It seems pretty clear that the left has lost all talent for sublety. The "advice" in this article used to be second nature to democrat candidates. Clinton is the best example I can think of in that regard. He pulled so far to the Center in his first Presidential election he was pissing off the far left base and ended up being pictured in cartoons with his finger in the air to see which way the wind was blowing.

Posted by: Orson at July 14, 2026 03:07 PM (dIske)

I think the Clinton example is actually evidence that this sort of thing is rare.

It took Clinton, a rare political talent who was already president, forcing a turn towards the center of his party after 1994.

The party hasn't done it since, and the rise of Obama created a generation of political consultants and politicians who view any softening on any issue as religious apostasy.

300 Those "attractive" DSA candidates and their ilk are the product of our academic institutions. Most are wealthy, or from wealthy families. They're "educated" in the finer points of deception and have a wealthy and largely militant backing.

302 No, that’s a problem for idiots. Policy positions that are well articulated, presented and which can be shown as demonstrably true outweigh charisma any time. The latter is easily proven as an empty suit mouthing platitudes and nonsensical bullshit easily disproven.

Sadly, the history of the Twentieth Century proves that is NOT the case.

305 We all hate on Mayor Bombdaddy but he's a charismatic guy and good retail politician. He's always (or almost always) smiling and looking optimistic. A page from the old Bill Clinton playbook. He's the opposite of the scowling, screeching ugly old commies like Bernie.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at July 14, 2026 02:58 PM (iFTx/)

Problem is he's also smiling and optimistic as his tax base crashes, he urges massive taxes, the police collapse into ruin and crime takes over. Once you start failing in real life, the bloom leaves the rose.

Except none of that is actually happening. It's just a meme. The city's tax base is expanding. Revenue, income, and everything that matters is up. The city better off now than it was under Adams and certainly under Di Blasio.

306 Pol Pot was educated in France. It was only then he returned to his native homeland and proceeded to slaughter about 20% of Cambodians.

He wanted to turn the entire Nation backwards, into a kind of stone age pre-industrial Utopia. The “Educated” classes, as well as blue collar mechanics and technical types, had to be liquidated or dealt with.

I guess Elric has a better sense of Mad-manny's political future than I do, but I think Mad-manny can easily whip up even more support by blaming his problems on greedy capitalists leaving the state, Kathy Hochul not giving him enough money, etc. As in Animal Farm, it's the mean human farmers. He's probably counting on Boxer to vow, "I will work harder!"

312 I can't believe that in real actual reality, the only candidate running against Nigel Farage in the Clacton By-Election is "Count Binface," a novelty candidate played by a stand-up comedian with a garbage can on his head.

Seriously.

None f the major parties are running candidate against Farage, because they know they'd lose. So the only opponent left is Count Binface.

As crazy as that might seem, it's not event he craziest part. Are you ready for this?

The Left actually expect Cunt Binface to win!

Although he is a joke candidate, he is suddenly receiving massive donations and thousands of volunteers flooding into Clacton to help him campaign against Farage. Because the entire left and the entire fake-conservative Establishment are lining up behind Count Binface in an attempt to humiliate Farage by having him lose to a joke candidate.

If all the crazy elections in 2026, this mkay well be the craziest.

This isn't true. They're out and proud about it.

The GOP was using public statements by Democrats to define Democrats in attack ads.

But it didn't work.

Because people didn't believe that Democrats would be that crazy. And the GOP was using their words, verbatim.

320 If you happen to know any Democrats, you could let them know that Rep. Ro Khanna (CA-17) is actually Zion-approved, according to the same incident that he tried to spin as hostile to him.

Despite Rohit playacting Jewphobia for the American press, once settler security confirmed his identity, he was free to proceed, as you would expect of their Punjabi Best Pal. They just needed to make sure that it wasn't some vile terrorist impersonating their Hindu Homie, since Khanna is kind of an idiot and forgot to call ahead and let his Hebrew Brothers From Another Mother know he was dropping by.

There’s a very dark side to this story. If Binface wins, then it means that a majority of the electorate agrees that the British government has become a bad joke, and it’s too late to even bother trying to fix it.

If Farage loses, then I’ll have to say they’re correct.
