I hope his arrogance and stupidity brings down the Ohio Republican party as well as Iowa and Kansas!

Vivek’s popularity has plummeted with everyone. Only +34 with R’s, -26 with independents. 55% disapprove of the ad but climbs to 64% when they hear Acton’s side

In the end, the left is just: we can do better this this, and be better people than this. We can have nice things. We can produce reliable knowledge & effective institutions. We can all prosper together. It's really hard!

That's much much harder, given the algorithmic media everyone's immersed in. Maybe the circumstances of modern life make enduring progressive politics impossible! But "we can use perpetual, bitter, miasmic discontent to our advantage" is not a road to long-term success for the left. IMO.

It sucks because it's unfair: conservatives just have to convince everyone that everything sucks & that everyone's out for themselves, which is *easy* in our modern info environment. Sooner or later, progressives have to convince people to trust one another, to build, to share, to feel solidarity.
