amazing what happens when you take party labels off the candidates, voters actually have to think, not just presume

Lots of undecided voters in the Los Angeles mayoral race – and ballots have already been mailed out. https://t.co/6ngUQqUTlv

Here's an admitted PA split ticket voter - Shapiro & Oz. Clearly doesn't like extremism; hints she doesn't like Trump but weighed the Oz endorsement against Fetterman's shtick which she clearly didn't like. Surely doesn't seem evil nor uneducated to me

Surely she would pass liberal poll testing and other complaints that some liberals have about democracy. It is what it is, democracy.

Katie is also female, so may focus on the family bit more than most number crunchers. There's no practical dollar value on pre-school - there's daily chaos and life disruption for years.

if only the Dem wonks could get more buzz

Transportation Secy. Pete Buttigieg pushed back on the notion that Democrats’ spending bills are responsible for high inflation.

The lack of affordable child care is forcing parents to leave the workforce. Our global competitors prioritize family policy because it's smart economic policy. The United States needs to catch up.https://t.co/jk929bilIo

Pete could be called an early Millennial and Katie is Gen X

Gen X puts incredible value in individuality, not group membership. This is basically the plot of the Breakfast Club, we identify as ourselves, not as a social or interest group. That attitude is not consistent with today’s Democrat Party. https://t.co/brHmS6kdSK

especially this one (I'd like to see him tell this to someone from 'the Greatest Gen", and what he replied when they said "and who is going to pay for that? how are you going to eat?")

I like this...millennials were introduced to the Slacker Lifestyle by Gen X only to see that completely fall apart as the economy tanked. We deserve the slacker dirtbag life, every generation does https://t.co/hOHl497quP

Mission Hill kinda the perfect early 2000s sitcom even though nobody watched it. The disillusionment between what was promised and what the reality is. Good, cool show

perhaps tangentially related, this Tweet reminded of something that I strongly remember my spouse (who died in 2014) saying,

Young Gen X & Old Millennials had it best. We grew up before the internet age, but still young enough to fully embrace technology. It’s not just nostalgia, it was objectively the best time. pic.twitter.com/2uZoh15BVa

he said that in the future, people would refer to the period of Clinton's second term as a "golden time". I never forgot that, it really struck me.

(he slowly grew pretty anti-liberal after that, supportive only of 3rd way Dems and Bloomberg types and increasingly supportive of Republicans; after a youth as a RFK type liberal, he very much started to see the Dem party as favoring socialism, high taxes on the wealthy and middle class, anti-capitalism and anti-business, basically punishing any success and supporting failure)
