Dave: Just another reminder that Yascha Mounk may be the absolute worst political scientist alive, regardless of what criteria you use to develop your ranking.

Another asinine 'solution' to the Biden Problem, this time from Yascha Mounk. Again, these people think their *entire job* is political strategy and predicting poll numbers. Yet they somehow think that spending months drawing attention to their own party's weaknesses is a good strategy!

I, for one, am incredibly thankful for Yascha for sparing me the anxiety of ever wondering if I might be the worst political scientist alive. Even on my darkest days, I know I’m better at this than him.

He is a true service to the discipline.

I would normally be too polite to say this, but someone said recently that I shouldn’t shy away from uncomfortable truths.

Also, he was credibly accused of rape not too long ago

On top of EVERYthing else, I am sure that, if this "consultative vote" about the direction the Democrats would take were held, two things would happen: 1) Biden would win decisively; 2) The punditocracy would immediately wave the result aside. 🙄
