NEW: The current US debate about providing additional military assistance to Ukraine is based in part on the assumption that the war will remain stalemated regardless of US actions. That assumption is false. Russian advances will accelerate absent urgent American action. 🧵(1/8)

When a position is popular, it will unify more members of the party which holds that position while dividing the opposite party and it will also be popular with independents.

This is not evidence for the position's intrinsic appeal to independents but just that it is popular.

Ok, I'll bite. If MAGA is so abhorrent in every respect, how come majorities in poll after poll after poll say they like the *policies* of the last administration compared to the current one?

Seems like those policies might be worth representing in national media.
