On Monday, Amy Kapczynski & Luke Herrine shared what they’ve been reading to make sense of the 2024 election: articles, blogs, exit polls, charts, tweets, and even some skeets. Speaking of which, if you’re migrating sites, give ye olde blog a follow.
On Tuesday, Keith Orejel examined the economic foundations of our modern urban-rural political divide. People are calling it “heavy on description” (non-derogatory), “the key challenge facing Democrats the next 4 years,” and “one of the last good things Twitter did.”
And on Wednesday, Jacob Hamburger explained how Democrats have failed on immigration. By leaving local governments to manage the arrival of humanitarian migrants on their own, the federal government has undermined public support for immigrant inclusion even in cities with long inclusive histories. To address this problem, he argues, Democrats should look to institutional experiments from a forgotten past.
