@manuelwagner.bsky.social & I re-conceptualize class representation to take into account social mobility between classes and variation in how individuals enter politics.

I think you should be able to say things the president doesn’t like and still be a citizen. Maybe we should write that down somewhere.

Thrilled to share that "The Meanings of Voting for Citizens" is out with OUP!

Loved working on this with brilliant mentors, co-authors, and friends

📘 The book (open access) explores how people think about voting and how these meanings influence participation

I wonder if appeals to self-interest on immigration—rather than, say, appeals to fairness or due process—might move Republicans? For example, does telling people mass deportation will weaken social security shift any attitudes?
BREAKING @prri.org poll.
My disturbing take: It’s virtually impossible to write a survey question about the treatment of immigrants that is too brutal for Republicans to support.
1) 8 in 10 Republicans support renditions of immigrants to foreign prisons without due process.

People often overestimate how many others share their views—a phenomenon known as the false consensus effect.

In a new article in @ispp-pops.bsky.social, @clandwehr.bsky.social, Philipp Harms and I show that this tendency is associated with stronger populist attitudes: doi.org/10.1111/pops....
