Hey, poli scientists. If Dems succeed in (1) self-organizing to remove successful, all-but-nominated incumbent and (2) coalescing around veep, isn’t that evidence of an effective, resilient party? It’s only been week since debate horror supplanted SOTU impressions. @jonathanbernstein.bsky.social
This is exactly the kind of question that makes this topic so fascinating to me. The answers are really important! But also so difficult to unpack. The relevant data is often hard to see and murky even when you can see it, and causation is *at best* complex.
