    I'm delighted to announce my article, "Democracy's Pin Factory: Issue Specialization, the Cognitive Division of Labor, and Epistemic Performance," has been published on FirstView at the American Journal of Political Science.

    Audience or monitory democracy ramps up the importance of the flow of information between leaders and the public. It hugely raises the incentive for them to control the flow of information, so Trump's routine ejection of reporters is hugely worrisome.

    Further unflattering comparison with our British cousins, whose political reporters yesterday boycotted in solidarity when the PM's media aide selectively ejected reporters:

    I'm sure all these people are just totally jazzed to be a part of future participatory moments in democracy.

    And many democratic theorists struggle to understand how anyone could have a truly informed preference against deep participation in politics.

    I simply cannot keep Humphrey, McGovern, and Mondale straight in my head. They're all jumbled together as one amorphous electorally unsuccessful late 20th century Democrat.

    Caucuses reward political engagement. In other words, they underrepresent the disengaged. Favor this if you want. But if you do, don’t pretend to believe that the system should reflect all citizens’ wishes kind of equally.

    This is going to get ugly: “Trump’s playbook is simple: go after people who crossed him during impeachment.”

    Trump's going be acquitted and the UK went through with Brexit, but, hey, the Daily Stormer is laying off its entire staff, so we got that going for us, which is nice.

    According to this, someone born in the SF Bay Area (like me) is three times more likely to reach the top fifth of income than someone born in Atlanta. It's more than four times the Atlanta rate for many other places. This is really the geography of unequal opportunity.

    I teach my students that the United States does not have a monopoly on the ideals of liberty and equality associated with the founding. Here we see others can actually beat us at our own game.

    Finland's prime minister says the Nordic countries do a better job embodying the American Dream. She's right.

    That time I bombed a job talk by trying to explain a political theory paper on compulsory voting to a bunch of empirical social scientists by spending a third of it on irrelevant political science research on it. I thought I was trying to fit in but it just obscured my work.

    I'm sorta obsessed with the nearly half of Americans who don't vote, so much so I'm literally writing a book that's in part about how to redesign democracy to realistically engage them.

    People seem to misunderstand what this is about. Promising to impeach Biden is a posthoc attempt to justify their unjustifiable votes to acquit Trump by promising to normalize impeachment as an ordinary partisan tactic.
