1. Again, this gets things upside down. As long as there are enough swing voters in purple or soft red districts, the kind of polarization we have in House districts makes triangulation more sensible politically, not less.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1152252330345193472 …

I guess what I’m missing is the evidence that Pelosi’s strategy is failing. Dems win back the House in 2018, thanks largely to moderates emphasizing issues, not impeachment. The House passes a bunch of liberal, if not left, bills. Trump is floundering. What’s she doing wrong?

Sure, but I’m saying something specific. Given how successful Pelosi’s strategy has been over the past 11 months, why should I think Eric’s approach is correct, and hers is wrong?

A lot of this gets decided by the members themselves. They think they know what works in their districts, having gotten elected there. I don't think that puts their analysis above criticism, but we should at least acknowledge the possibility that they *might* know better than us

In a polarized political environment, controversial positions both help and hurt. The question is always which effect predominates.
