      This version of the @mattyglesias / @davidshor bit, which is basically *the* CW for generations of politicos, is pretty persuasive (and in a form/content merger avoids being needlessly trollish towards those it is addressed to.)https://www.slowboring.com/p/the-median-voter-is-a-50-something …

      I dunno. It only acknowledges at the end that the true people who are sabotaging the most popular components of Biden's agenda are so-called moderates (which demands a very different sort of analysis than what came before)

      For the record prescription drug price negotiation is the most popular of the 194 policies we’ve tested so far this year, with variants of the basic idea (IE, generic insulin, patent breaking, etc) making up four of the top five. https://twitter.com/DavidAstinWalsh/status/1438553615594049541 …

      Do you have any special insight into why Peters, Rice, etc. are acting the way they are? Does Pharma just have very persuasive lobbyists and industry friendly experts?

      I think that if you have 225 folks then it’s not that weird that eight of them will take Pharma’s side ideologically. Also some of them have some local concerns.

      are mods more likely to do these things because Phrma will employ them when they get their more likely loss?

      Right I think they just buy into the arguments. It just happens out of 200 folks.

      It's true that centrists dems do have an ideology (and incredibly pernicious one) which gets underexplored & is a force. That's why I prefer less ideological and more opportunistic pols like Biden, Pelosi, & Schumer who will bend with the wind.

          Hard to say that Biden bends with the wind with his current stance on Marijuana.

          What's often forgotten about Biden is he is first and foremost a salesman; every technique he uses is a tried-and-true sales technique. Except I don't mean that as an insult; I mean that as a tremendous compliment. More politicians should understand they're sales reps for ideas.
