Just finished listening to the Pod Save America episode with the Harris campaign staff. Depressing is the only word that comes to mind.

When something is going wrong it is insane that the response to the question "why?" is always Reagan
Until circa 1980, elite colleges were actually getting more economically diverse. Kids from poor families were getting in at increasing rates, and the advantages of wealth were shrinking.
