1. The war we are fighting is for democracy. It is a war against authoritarianism, kleptocracy and white nationalism. Spending resources and energy to weaken your own forces and cause division only strengthens the true opposition.

2. There will be no progressive policies passed without seats. Every lost seat at the state and federal level weakens our ability to fight the GOP agenda and pass progressive bills. Of the 22 primary elections Justice Dems won, only 5 were for competitive Republican-held seats.
3. A 31% win rate exemplifies the risk. Every seat matters. Every seat. We can't afford self-inflicted wounds or divisive tactics. This is not the time. Be clear-eyed about the enemy and focused on what it takes to beat them back -- or we all lose.

1. Why support @DemsWork4USA? Because our model gets results. We won 254 seats in the 2017-2018 cycle up and down the ballot. A look at our performance in the primaries demonstrates the power of early, strategic, grassroots support.
2. We won 237 of 286 primary races - an 83% win rate. This is comparatively high for the amount of races we supported. 147 of the primary winners we supported went on to win the general. This is a win/loss ratio of 2:1.
3. General election candidates who we didn't endorse in the primary had a win/loss ratio of 1:1. This means that our model of identifying and supporting the best candidate to win in the general as our primary pick doubles the chance of winning the seat.

1. Look, @SteveSchmidtSES, I get it. You want your party back from Trumpism - you want space for the ideologies on which you've staked your careers. Same for other Never Trumpers like @MaxBoot, @DavidJollyFL or @davidfrum. Running @HowardSchultz as an IND in 2020 isn't the way.
2. The #GOP didn't get here overnight. The Southern Strategy, the alliance with Evangelicals, the anti-intellectualism, the systemic voter suppression - this has been a set trajectory for decades. One you were all a part of, even though you may not like where you landed.
3. And, yes, it may be that your party is forever ruined and a new one must rise, but there is no quick fix. Running Howard as an independent allows you to bypass the primary process. Claiming he is an "independent-centrist" is disingenuous. Independent of what?

1. In 2016 I feared for our country. On this #HolocaustMemorialDay that fear now encompasses the western liberal democracy that has kept order and peace post WWII. National populism has spread across the hemisphere on a dark trajectory - one already outlined in history.
2. We are failing to see the bigger picture, blinded by the myopic lens of tribalism. Putin, however, is clear-eyed. This is his vision and has been all along. Populism isn’t a solution to a problem. It is a reaction to a problem -largely the problem of wealth inequality.
3. National populism revolves around the following: a) political distrust b) perceived destruction of national cultures c) anxiety about deprivation of jobs and income d) dealignment of political parties with voters. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

The Suffocation of Democracy

1/
As a historian specializing in the #Holocaust, #Nazi Germany, and #Europe in the era of the world wars, I have been repeatedly asked about the degree to which the current situation in the United States resembles the interwar period and the rise of #fascism in Europe.
2/
I would note several troubling similarities and one important but equally troubling difference.

In the 1920s, the US pursued #isolationism in foreign #policy and rejected participation in international organizations like the League of Nations.

1. Russia carries out a non-traditional war against the West. US/EU reply: oblivion, denial & confusion. Acknowledge it is a hybrid war, not "meddling," learn the Kremlin mentality and methodology and develop a new way of thinking and a strategy.
2. The long-term goal of the Kremlin's hybrid war is the expansion of the Russian economic and geopolitical interests as a guarantee of the personal wealth and power of Putin and his allies. Read more:

BREAKING: the Trump admin released legal “justification” for its 2018 Syria missile attack. justice.gov/olc/opinion/fi…
Memo claims Trump has limitless power to wage global war - w/out regard to the Constitution. Our take on what Congress should do vs. what it is doing <thread> 1/
Unfathomably, what’s on Senate’s docket hands Congress’s constitutional power OVER to the president. The Senate will mark-up the proposed #CorkerKaineAUMF (SJRes59) by the end of June. Let's unpack this proposal and why we can’t let Senators be fooled by misleading spin. 2/
Sen. Corker and Kaine claim their proposal is better than the status quo, but here’s the reality:

Despite 17 years of global war being an abject failure, these Senators want to give Trump even MORE power to take our country to #endlesswar all over the world. 3/

Hezbollah's Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah gives a live speech, discussing elections and the "sensitive phase the region is experiencing as a result of the developments in Syria."
almanar.com.lb/live/
1-Nasrallah: Our goal from running for elections in Beirut isn't to take over Beirut's decision-making, as @saadhariri asserts, but to represent the Shiites there who have been living there for generations.
2-Nasrallah: Beirut is a special case, it is Lebanon's capital and it is supposed to represent all Lebanese.
