Someone will be staying up late!

I can figure out a couple ways to make them palatable but i broadly agree

oh yea i was just agreeing with you, been shouting about this for years.

look...

the "regain some of the burbs and hold the newbies" option...i would not say it is intuitively evident in its availability

lmao yea i was just posting about this too. the internal rationalizations are hilarious but the data is interesting

and also trying to talk about voters that young as party members is a very dicey proposition, particularly when we're going to weather world historical crisis for...the rest of their lives?

the discussion is in part clearheaded abt where the tensions will lead. GOP has to make up for suburban voter losses and turn nihilistic young members of the coalition into reliable Republican voters. I think they've got the tools to do the latter handily but at scale to overcome the former? hmmm
