i'm concerned about the political landscape in the USA. some elements of the republican party are becoming increasingly anti-democratic. the 2022 midterms could be an inflection point that leads to undermining elections in 2024. (or it could all be fine! but there's real risk.)

It would also be nice if the democratic party decided to take these trends seriously, by appealing to popular cultural ideas, instead of doing the opposite: slowboring.com/p/what-was-th…

What was the popularism debate?

"Concerned" is a minimal response. Jan6 was our Beer Hall Putsch. Germany did not imprison the leaders of that failed fascist coup attempt. If we fail the same way we will get a remarkably similar result.

Hillary Clinton has some advice for Joe Biden: Don’t concede in a close race. The 2016 nominee sits down with @jmpalmieri and @sho_thecircus to urge Dems to pay close attention to GOP strategy.
