What does "giving credit" have to do with anything? If you run a "good campaign," and still lose, then it wasn't a good campaign. Compared to Biden in 2020, Harris lost votes from women, black voters, Hispanics, and voters under 30.

As I've said multiple times now, nobody is critiquing Will's support for democracy and civil rights, which is laudable. Why do you keep returning to it?

This is from just 3 months ago. He's been admirably consistent on his theory of politics, dippy though it may be.

"Chart guy" is not a political stance. There are chart guys across the spectrum. I'm talking about his negation of discontent. Where do you think libidinal racism comes from, tree sprites?

Stancil spent the whole 2024 cycle complaining that concerns about the economy were just bad vibes. That was his whole schtick. It's anti-politics.

Nor does he today. That's the critique. Props to him for being a menace in his Honda Fit, that's truly inspiring, but his juvenile politics typify why we have a MAGA problem in the first place.

The mayor of new York City is leading with "economic intepretations popular on the left" with no adverse impact on his commitment to pluralistic society. Everyone left of center believes in democratic pluralism; it's what the "civics" mentality elides that's the problem.

Will has been spending the last several years, though, including in his statehouse campaign, insisting that the appearance that anything has “fallen by the wayside” is an optical illusion.

Kind of loses the plot in the follow up, though. If 7th grade civics values are keeping his neighbors safe and free, why is he spending his days chasing ICE agents through the snowy streets?

Single payer means no opt out. Thus the “single” part.
