If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:
America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.
What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

When I explain that boycotting an election over an issue has never once forced a politician to embrace that issue, I'm not "scolding people to vote." I'm explaining reality.
Feel free to sit on your ass! Just don't pretend that your lazy apathy is somehow going to advance your agenda.

If Barack Obama had sent federal Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms officers to Texas to intimidate people at a Governor Rick Perry event on the obviously contrived grounds that some attendees may have unregistered firearms, it would be the only news story on every channel for roughly a decade.

Some people are into politics because they care about how policy impacts people. They like winning elections, and build coalitions to do so.
Other people are into politics as aesthetics, because their stances make them feel edgy and superior. They like losing and complaining, and shun coalitions.

There’s a weird thing on this website and lots of left-wing subcultures, where people love to throw around “liberal” as an insult, but from what I can tell liberals voted overwhelmingly against Cuomo and are rallying behind Zohran now.

This is far-right propaganda masquerading as journalism. Biden is an 82-year-old retiree who has no formal role in the Democratic Party. Meanwhile, the current president's brain continues to glitch over the word "groceries."
