Higgins has alerted me that @timmiller.bsky.social is a very loyal conservative Republican whose views have not changed at all. I apologize for the error.
In this hypothetical Chait can’t be referring to Tim Miller, former Republican operative, Jeb Bush 2016 comms director, and and right-wing PR bag man, as a “skeptic of conservativism”… right?

Why Are Leftists So Pessimistic About School Reform?
Progressives used to view schools as engines of social mobility. Now they seem resigned to their failure.

FIGHT HARDER
Imagine if Dems in the Senate hadn't caved. The House wouldn't be in session rn, the discharge petition wouldn't be signed, people wouldn't have SNAP, govt workers would be RIF'd & the GOP would have some decent talking points. But also online rage addicts would be happier! YMMV!

In fact, the article explains that Mamdani's win shows a great deal about winning elections in deep blue districts.
There ought to be a moratorium on thinkpieces premised on "here's what the guy who just won a watershed election doesn't understand about winning elections". Or maybe just on Chait pieces more generally.
