    This is one reason I think ’ take on the way Democrats talk about childcare is really smart. There are some traditionalist voters Dems could win by making an appeal to stay at home parents as well as those who are career oriented

    But she also believed strongly in helping the (deserving) poor. She loved the populism of Ross Perot. She voted for for Bush in 2000 - compassionate conservatism was perfectly tailored to her - but then voted Kerry in 2004 because of the war and tax cuts for the rich

    My grandma’s was deeply religious, vocally anti-drug, and her politics were formed in part by a resentment that some of her children became hippies (who were villains in her mind, long after they barely existed anymore).

    My mental model of the primary is very simple: 1. If Biden wins Iowa, it’s all over, he’s gonna win the nomination 2. If Bernie, Warren, or Pete win Iowa, they have 40-60% chance of beating Biden, with Bernie in the strongest position and Pete in the weakest
