My favorite is The Bulwark (ex-Republican never-Trumpers), I think they’re great. Also fans of Pod Save America (ex Obama staff). I found a new one I highly recommend called “2Way” from journalist Mark Halperin and it’s a Republican-based but mixed bunch, pretty cool.
Highly recommend Pod Save America and their spinoffs / associates. The Pod Save guys are ex-Obama staffers, so they know how the sausages are made, but they are by no means full-time DNC cheerleaders. Just lately their conversation seems to in the realm of "Biden is the nominee, but we have a responsibility to have a level-headed conversation about if that is the best idea; every possible choice comes with risks, and we aren't doing ourselves any favors if we don't consider them."
They make no secret about the fact that they are pushing a progressive agenda, but they also aren't blowing smoke up your ass about how well we are or aren't doing, or if democratic figures have made gigantic fuck-ups, which I appreciate.
Yeah agreed, if they would have gone into gaslight mode I would have been super disappointed. I still worry they could falter long term.
