Thanks for posting. Good to know where he stands on Jan 6

Tucker: "Nobody would say Joe Biden was a great candidate. He didn't campaign. He was not a figure who commanded respect among Democrats... Nobody said I want my kid to grow up to be Joe Biden. So, how did Joe Biden get 81 million votes, 15 million more than Barack Obama?"

The best way to “disagree better” is to leave each other alone. Good fences make good neighbors.

The alternative is either dysfunctional disagreement, as we often see, or, even worse, dysfunctional agreement in which Reps and Dems bury the hatchet for the glory of neoliberalism. https://t.co/qBUSIXrFrK

This is why the "Russian disinformation" angle was smart. For about 24 hours, they asked themselves if they had the country wrong. And then they said, "No it was a combination of traitors and people who were tricked," and used that to ditch free speech and increase their power. https://t.co/Po6qtDODqU

The Coming Nasty Fight over 'No Labels'
On the menu today: No Labels hosted a New Hampshire town hall yesterday. It featured two of the group's co-chairs, both of whom are currently options for a future No Labels presidential ticket: West Virginia Democratic senator Joe Manchin and Jon Huntsman, the Republican former governor of Utah. Liberal columnists are increasingly apoplectic that the small group could play spoiler and derail President Biden's reelection bid, and unintentionally return Donald Trump to the Oval Office next year. You know Democrats are serious about stopping No Labels, because they've enlisted 82-year-old former House majority leader Dick Gephardt to lead a group dedicated to stopping No Labels. Meanwhile, an American has wandered off while visiting a place in which you should never wander off.
Democrats Are Terrified of No Labels
The Democratic strategy for 2024 isn't difficult to determine: run the same playbook that worked in 2020. Turn the election into a referendum on Donald Trump and tie every other GOP candidate on the ballot to "mega-MAGA Republicans." Right now, about 56 percent of Americans feel unfavorably toward Donald Trump, and just 40 percent feel favorably toward him. Donald Trump is the ultimate established brand in politics; there's little reason to think that many Americans will change their mind about him between now and the next election. It's extremely hard to win 270 electoral votes with such a low ceiling of support.

For Democrats, the key is to ensure that the 2024 presidential election is widely seen as a binary choice, either for or against Trump, instead of a referendum on the performance of the incumbent. Yes, the electorate thinks Joe Biden is too old and doesn't like Kamala Harris at all. But no one drives the Democratic Party's turnout as effectively as Donald Trump does, and few Republicans repel independent voters the way Trump does. The 2020 exit polls indicated Biden won self-identified independents, 54 percent to 41 percent.

But Democrats are terrified that this group No Labels could come along and screw it all up.
