Heterodoxy is happening before our eyes—and it’s why Democrats are poised to beat Republicans in a bunch of red states.
It’s exciting.

She is a bad-faith actor!!!!!!
Whenever Democratic political operatives gather to drink these days, they talk about three things: their chances in the midterms, who will be the nominee in 2028, and if they have read — or are in — “the book.”
The book in question is ‘Nothing Left: Confessions of a Democratic Operative,’ by Evan Barker, a onetime fundraiser who has written something between a tell-all and a cri de coeur about her time inside the Democratic Party. But for many Democrats the book has been candy less because of its call for reshaping politics and more because, while peeling back the curtain on the inner workings of political campaigns, it names (some) names.
“You want to tell the truth, and you want to tell people what happened, but at the same time my intention was never to just burn people needlessly to be vindictive,” Barker tells David Freedlander. “At the same time, it’s like, yeah, I knew that some of the stories in there might hurt some people’s feelings, but sometimes people need to get their feelings hurt.”

Most voters are heterodox; they don't fall into neat idealogical boxes like 'liberal' or 'conservative' — or even 'moderate.'
We mapped out that heterodoxy in a collaboration with the New York Times. @AJentleson explains what we found.

Searchlight's corruption focus groups found that voters see corruption as affecting every other issue: i.e. politicians aren't focused on cost of living because they're captured by special interests
It's not number one but it can be a skeleton key kind of issue
For the midterms, I think corruption/self-dealing is issue 1b behind cost of living as 1a.
It's not just that people feel things are unaffordable for themselves, they think those in power are helping rich friends get richer.
From our latest "America in Focus" focus group...

New Substack from me:
This is how you build a Supermajority.
Now that we’re in general election season, we’re seeing the candidates who embrace heterodoxy perform better than those who don’t.
When it comes to charting the future of the party the most important question has always been: which model will enable Dems to win the most power in the most places. We are going to need a lot of power—and a lot of seats—to pass the ambitious policy agenda and structural reforms necessary to defeat fascism.
In real world tests against Republicans, heterodoxy is proving the more successful model, and it’s encouraging to see so many Democrats embracing it.
