@BenRossTransit @Alon @adamkotsko what you are calling the right wing has controlled the party, from an external perspective. the Harris campaign, for example, fell into this trap. describing the world accurately has to take that into account.

it’s an important project to try to reform the Democratic Party into something that could command a, well, moral majority (or else to build something else that could). but i think that’s a step beyond this analysis.
