Senator Elizabeth Warren built her political brand during the 2008 financial crisis by exposing how the economy is "rigged" against everyday Americans—a message Donald Trump later harnessed for his own rise to the presidency. In this episode, David Leonhardt from Times Opinion sits down with Warren to discuss her vision for a progressive economic narrative and key lessons Democrats must learn to effectively connect with voters in the future. Want to hear her take on reclaiming the message and pushing real reform?

Opinion | ‘The Game Is Rigged’: Elizabeth Warren on America’s Next Story

How Republicans harnessed the story Democrats didn’t — and won’t — embrace.

'Many voters do worry abt the Reps Party’s opp to abortion, its dismissal of climate chge & its support for book bans. Bt the same voters worry that Dems are hostile to policing, obsessed w/ race-gender & opposed to oil-gas.

The Democrats who won hard races portrayed thmselves as occupying the reasonable middle.

They criticized Reps as wrong on abortion, but only 2ndarily, embraced police-military, running ads with people in uniform, & called out corps for polluting.' #DavidLeonhardt #NYT

The #SAT may or may have some use for college admissions, but this #NYT article by #DavidLeonhardt is problematic. Ivy administrators are disingenuous when they say they are focused on ensuring that students can handle college-level work. When they admit 5% of applicants, they reject plenty who are fully capable. Also, the graphs in the article don't prove the point the caption claims they do: The slope of the curve depends on the choice of axes. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/08/briefing/sats-standardized-tests-college-admission.html?smid=nytcore-android-share

Anyone citing or linking to an Israel-Hamas take from David Fucking Leonhardt should be required to explain why they're listening to a #ProfessionalWrongPerson who salvaged his pathetic wreck of a career through COVID denialism. That dude's literally, personally responsible for deaths.

"Policy experts concluded #Democrats had not gone far enough to undo the 1980s revolution Ronald Reagan started -the one tht sparked the huge rise in inequality.

#Bidenomics is an ideology shift. We shouldn't lose sight of the bigger picture during the campaign back-forth which is tht the post-1980 economy failed to deliver the broad-based benefits Reagan & allies promised. So did several economic policies, like expanded global trade, tht many Democrats favored.' #DavidLeonhardt

Leonhardt is reporting testimony as fact, tagging on at the end of his "factual" report a statement that he's citing testimony.

So naturally he goes on to claim that the Hunter Biden story is important, because no less than his journalistic colleage Luke Broadwater says it's important.

This is shoddy journalism, a poor excuse for journalism, and all designed to give legs to a story that honest people know has little substance.

"When his father was vice president from 2009 to 2017, Hunter tried to create the impression that he could leverage his family connections to help his clients, as a former business partner has testified to Congress."

The "as a former business partner has testified" is buried, while the lede is the allegation that former partner made that Huntre Biden sought to leverage family connections to make money.

You can count on New York Times' David Leonhardt to try to give legs to the Hunter Biden story. Both-sidesisng is what Leonhardt does best, presenting as objective and disinterested and even "liberal" while validating and amplifying even the most outrageously bogus story from the political right.
