Am I Still a Member of the Left? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Am I still a member of the left? I’ve been wondering about this for the past two years. In a way, the answer is easy: I vote with and for the left. And, however nuanced my takes might be, on the vast majority of topics, my policy prescriptions inevitably land in what might be called a social democratic direction. I do my best to tone down my tribal instincts, but being human, I will always be partial to certain people. For instance, no matter how dispassionately I might write about immigration p
The Very Stable Genius and the Democratic Comeback (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A couple of years is an eternity in politics. 2 years ago, Democrats were on their way to a stinging defeat, having clung for far too long to an unpopular incumbent who, though clearly far past his shelf-life, had nevertheless insisted on running for reelection, in defiance of poll and after poll that had shown that the electorate, however it might have felt in 2020, no longer trusted him to be in charge.

I feel compelled to add the caveat that “Asian” is a very broad term encompassing people from places as far apart as Yemen and Japan, Turkey and Indonesia. In the UK, the term is used primarily to describe people from the Indian subcontinent. In the US, though it can also refer to South Asians, most people imagine an East Asian when they hear “Asian.” Still, it is what it is. Latinos a
Trump Is Unpopular. Racial Depolarization Is Still Here. (opens the original)

2024 was a year of racial depolarization, particularly among Black and Latino voters. <img alt="Trump’s support among Hispanic, Black voters higher in 2024 than in 2020, 2016" class="sizing-normal" height="680" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$
