Steve Schmidt, the ex-Republican and co-founder of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project, tweeted a lengthy thread on Friday night reaching out to Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a vocal critic of the group in the past. His proposed goal: joining forces to prevent "losing this country to Autocrats."

Back in November, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted that The Lincoln Project was "def in scam territory" and advised that they should "take the L and publicly pledge to give a lot of their fundraising to the people who actually made a big difference."

A recent study by the Democratic super PAC Priorities USA came to a similar conclusion, finding that the more popular a Lincoln Project ad was on Twitter (measured through likes and retweets), the less likely it was to persuade a battleground voter to vote for Joe Biden over Donald Trump.

Abstract. The era of the Popular Front occupies a special place in the historiography of the Communist International and has for many years stimulated a rich controversy. The Comintern’s apparently sudden volte-face in 1934–5, abandoning the sectarian tactics of the Third Period and embracing broad anti-fascist alliances with socialist and liberal parties, has been seen as the result of Stalin’s direct …
