I wish people in the democracies were all well-read and thoughtful, but they're not. Pushing aside some issues to try to win on others is ugly, but it's a time-honored strategy.

There’s unfortunately a lot of people who don’t understand that you’re talking about campaign strategy v. actual governing policy. The thing republicans do is campaign really well and then get in office and just start passing policy regardless of whether it aligns with their campaign platforms.

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

I've wanted to see more of this for a long time. And I'd love to know if there is any longitudinal data that could tell us whether the public has become less informed over the years.
I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?
