notice that Democrats proposing these policies were successful at raising campaign donations from small donors. I think this is meaningful and good actually (I don't support the wealth tax policy btw) because it reflects the interests of a constituency rather than donors.

the party itself seems headed towards a schism because of irreconcilable differences w.r.t policies, communication style, and most importantly, who they perceive as their primary constituents. personally I welcome this.

parties mirroring each other superficially (the 2000 Bush v Gore election is the best example of this I can think of) is TERRRRRRRRRRRIBLE for governance and democratic sovereignty.

this is literally the reason why parties became vulnerable to capture by their fringes.

Hotelling equilibrium makes good sense for McDonalds vs. Burger King. it's a tragedy when it gets used for politics.
