18. Chris Cillizza Is a Total Wienie, But Even He Says This Is Where All The Dem Energy Is
Wed Jul 1, 2026, 09:29 AM
Yesterday

I still follow him from time to time on YouTube because I feel like he is a pure political junkie without a massive lean in any direction, so he's a decent barometer.

It was unexpected to hear him say this week that the dem socialists are basically selling what people want to buy right now with their economic populism and focus on actual policies centered on affordability.
