    I'm happy to announce the release of my new, big paper, "The Density Divide: Urbanization, Polarization, and Populist Backlash," which offers a synthetic, multi-disciplinary account of polarization and populism as a side-effect of urbanization.

    Rand Paul's ongoing campaign to ensure that government employees fear for their lives enough to not try to expose lawbreaking by their superiors in the future won't be any single day's biggest story but its long-term importance is substantial.

    Klobuchar calls herself "a steady hand in chaos," continuing to joke about Iowa, and calling herself a "top five candidate."

  4. This is excellent. Confusion over the new rules and preference cards turned a bunch of caucuses into interminable goat rodeos, which the idiotic reporting app, and understaffed telephones, converted into an apocalyptic public relations disaster.

    I don't think people are fully pricing in the meaning of an Iowa 4th place for Biden. Like, yes, he can get a lot of delegates from heavily African-American states in the South. But the 538 delegate model has Biden winning a LOT of Northern states. This calls that into question.

    A 7-year old girl just asked if she will "close the camps." Warren: "The camps where children are held?" Little girl: Yes. Warren: Yes.

  7. Yes, caucuses are bad. But this is kind of engagement between citizens is extremely healthy, in part because it really does breed the kind of civic tolerance, patience, and spirit of persuasive conciliation on brilliant display here.

    I wrote about the caucus app fiasco and how this is what happens when you move fast, break things and bring the startup idea of "minimum viable product" to...the integrity of the democratic process

    Better to be slow and right than fast and wrong. (Ideally you'd be fast and right)

  11. The media idiotically see legitimacy in terms of fulfilling a role in the news cycle and campaigns strategize around the news cycle. But actual legitimacy means getting the count right. Disappointing media and campaigns doesn't undermine the process, wrong official results do.

  12. The IDP also screwed up by encouraging the expectation of speedy results. But the legitimacy of the process is undermined more by hyperventilating media reports of total disaster and campaigns claiming victory, encouraging conspiracy theories & releasing partial internal results.

  13. The IDP screwed up with the dumb app. But they're doing the right thing going over the ballots to ensure they release accurate numbers. To call the legitimacy of the process into question because waiting irritates news junkies, campaigns and cable networks is totally pernicious.

  14. I am one of those annoying "hand-marked paper ballots!" fanatics. We had them this year in Iowa. And they're serving their function. But if we're going to make them the norm, we need to fiercely resist expectations of, and pressure for, instant dispositive results.

    Re: Mediocre Dem Turnout. Understandable, not a crisis, says . I had worried, but this makes sense. I am hyperfocused on the 2020 election, but my attitude now is I don't know who is most electable, so let it play out, & I'll vote for whomever gets the nomination.

    My vote is Georgia - it has one of the youngest, most diverse electorates that’s only getting younger and more diverse. And it’s big, but not as expensive and television-focused as really big states.

  20. Intra-party organization, politicking and buy-in to candidates is important for success in general elections, and there's no reason party nominating processes should be a mirror-image of elections. But caucuses can't scale and simply don't serve this intra-party process very well

  21. Caucuses are nevertheless deeply unfair to many working people and parents and ridiculously unwieldy. I'd prefer allocating delegates with ranked choice ballot box vote, with the party retaining control over enough super-delegates to retain a significant mediating function.
