      Possibly unpopular opinion: anyone on the left who takes this deal is such a complete sucker that it should be legal to ply them with ponzi schemes. https://t.co/oLVs6eSdyj

      Possibly unpopular opinion: it's easy to imagine a world in which this proposed coalition makes sense, but in the US it's hard to make the numbers work. (He's not proposing D's make common cause with the staff at the Bulwark, to win, and then giving them policy carte blanche.)

      I think the real question is whether he's proposing something like the Israeli coalition, where the only unifying principle is "anyone but Netanyahu", or if it's some Shor-style "be somewhat less left so that you are more likely to win".

      The former is what Sharkey is suggesting but has the problem you point out. The latter is definitely realistic but isn't a "coalition for democracy" at all.

      Replying to @samth @HeerJeet

      I think he's actually proposing something that's a bit of both. Not just anyone-but-Trump. More like: anything-but-Trumpism. If there were a center-right party to form a coalition with, it would make sense to horse-trade on policy. That's how it goes. But there is no such party.

      There is no such party and Never Trumpers are few in number and are being squeezed out the existing GOP. Giving this marginal group policy concessions will further demobilize Democrats for no good reason.

          Yep. Shor is still wise about popularism, as distinct from coalition building.

          I can't accept Shor's popularism when he says things like this.https://twitter.com/davidshor/status/1394368489855635459?s=20&t=kcEuy7_M1EA0_8HZQ9nIAw …

          I think the Obama/Biden policy line is substantively what does the most to keep things on the ground from getting much worse, while the vote maximizing strategy would be to be more pro-Israel. Moving to the left of Obama/Biden is strictly worse on both. https://twitter.com/davidshor/status/1263329491033694209 …
