A House Divided? Not When It Comes to Big Tech's Data Centers.

America is in as deep a partisan divide as at any point in our history. In 2017, I said on ABC News that our country was as divided and polarized as at any time since the Civil War. Many people criticized this statement, and I was accused of hyperbole. Hmmm …

At points like this, when the political environment exposes a “house divided” as Lincoln would say, it is crucial to find issues that motivate and persuade across the ideological spectrum while looking at how to win a general election in swing states or swing districts.

Most competent political strategists seek issues and values that can simultaneously motivate their base while also persuading independents. Getting party partisans to turn out as strongly as possible, while also moving swing voters into one’s column on general election day is essential.

Democrats have the best path right now of running on those “two-fer” issues. For instance, Democratic voters and independent voters both favor the Dems on the economy and inflation. Another two-fer issue is opposing Trump and supporting our Constitution and democracy which both motivates a partisan base and moves swing voters. Health care and supporting Medicare is advantageous ground for Democratic politicians.
