Don’t worry: my preferred candidate will become Democratic AMLO

This is something kind of new I'm working on, dividing up our 100K district project into percentiles, to make charts like this. This shows that generally, turnout in Dem areas dropped pretty hard from 2020-2024, while Republican areas stayed the same or had increased turnout.

Just to illustrate this, in 2021-22 the GOP spent a lot of money trying to win over Latinos by doing cookouts, hosting events, and opening “outreach centers”. Latinos didn’t move at all or even swung left.
In 2024 Trump blanketed airwaves and got the largest Latino swing in 20 years.

If you are spending $20 on cost per acquisition for a marginal voter w/targeted ads and specialized canvassing (e.g., in-person, which is insanely expensive relative to ads)
vs.
$5 on a super-voter who sees you on TV
The candidate who gets more $5 voters wins 9/10 times.

From a campaign dollars perspective, this is objectively true.
Yeah I mean it’s not really PC to say this but extremely poor or marginalized people are usually a bad persuasion target in a primary! Sorry but that’s just reality!

Some depressing stuff, but the Lib Dems are such a classic Anglo political tradition. They take “free trade, free people” so seriously. No one folds in new social liberal ideas faster than them🥲.

And an important kicker to that is those people you perceive to be much better off - you absolutely do not view them as "better educated" or "more moral" than you.

One partial explanation for the vibecession may be that we're increasingly alone with a device in our pockets that disproportionately exposes us to people we believe to be much wealthier and more successful than us

See this is a bipartisan populist issue we can get behind. Who tf cares about if someone is using a GLP-1, and now that it’s in pill form…
I cannot stand the repeated hit pieces on GLP-1s in mainstream media. NYT almost daily: GLP-1s wrecked this couple’s sex life! Or this woman’s emotional life! Or her cooking! NYMag today: Celebrities are so thin their bones are jutting out of their hips! Me: Anyone else remember the 90s?

I interviewed someone living in San Francisco who wants to move out because her expenses are too high. What does Abundance do for her?

My new favorite is “green flag: men who have sisters”. As if anyone can control that.

"ick" discourse is literally 100% this. It's people trying to tell themselves that if they raise their standards on some surface level thing, it means they can avoid a bad relationship later on. I don't think anyone even actually believes this is true

Dating discourse on here reads to me as mostly made of people self reinforcing their own depression and it’s weird that people who are married participate by thanking the universe that they’re not dating online.

that “what does Abundance offer farmers” post stemmed from a plant closure from Tyson Foods in Lexington, NE. It was very bad, 3,200 laid off, big damage to local migrant community and small businesses.
But I struggle to see how this and urban housing policy are linked

Btw there’s pretty good evidence that the post-pandemic society was a boom time for exurban and “rural” areas.
The big rural immiseration is sorta in the previous generation (1970-2000), not ours. But as in many countries, their descendants are even more aggrieved!

For what it’s worth, he did probably interview real people with these beliefs. And I don’t doubt that they have them.
But it’s a huge coalition and you do have to take into account that urban voters can get very mad over lack of services (like they potentially did in 2024!)

I don’t always agree with of the broader political takes from some “abundance”-coded pundits but man the abundance critics are just pure nonsense merchants
like, what’s this guy’s deal? literally making up a guy to dunk on the idea that cities should build more housing and transit.

It's ironic how a bunch of Biden officials and related think tanks co-opted Abundance as their idea to wield against "the Left" as if the book isn't a broadside on how 2021-24 was a political and technocratic failure.
