I think you’re probably barking up the wrong tree. Moderation on immigration or not, it seems unlikely that men specifically would shift their votes away from Biden.

From the article snipped below. Zohran is more popular with Republicans than Kamala, where he lags the national figures is mostly independents (except compared to Schumer 🤢)

Are you saying Zohran is just not famous enough for any survey data outside of NYC? Here is data on John Thune for comparison (at least comparing these two surveys, Zohran is more known nationally):

Meh, I kind of think the 90s-era conventional wisdom was proven correct by Kamala in ‘24 (she ran a great campaign and came closer than any other developed economy incumbent) but we left out the bit of “wisdom” from the 90s about men not being willing to vote for a woman:

Biden terminated the Trump “Remain in Mexico” policy in 2021 (and was sued by the GOP for doing so)
Biden authorized more naturalizations than any other administration in history and issued record work permits
The admin had no control over how many millions of migrants came to the border

Like you are saying Biden is “worse” because the Covid public health emergency was mostly during his tenure.

We can probably have a reasonable discussion about what “plenty” is and whether the middle class in the US is currently paying that. But the fact remains, the median salary worker in the US contributes MUCH less than their equivalent in the EU: www.federalbudgetinpictures.com/wp-content/u...

Sure. Here is data from KFF on the approval rating of Obamacare. It took over 10 years to make the kind of gains you are suggesting for immigration to be a winner for Dems. Yes, we can work to convince people Trump is bad on immigration by 2035-2040. Do you think this is the best use of $$$?

No, a pre-WWII house in Belgium is not more energy efficient than a US home built in 1980, much less one built in 2025. You are acting like we don’t have millions of brick homes in the US!

This is a common sentiment but it’s not supported by the data. All other things being equal, moderate candidates slightly outperform farther left/right candidates in the US. Unfortunately, what really held back Harris (and also Hillary) was the unwillingness of men to vote for them:

Actually, Marx wrote that immigration undermined the interests of the working class. It is the capitalists that welcome the influx of laborers
