I continue to be amazed at the arrogance of political hobbyists who think they can intuit what benefits one party or the other rather than believing the political parties have superior information on which to base their actions and opinions.

Matthew Yglesias is a joke

He's been a joke for quite a few years now. I think he really down deep inside wants to be a bro dude, but his last name being Iglesias prevents him from ever joining the WASP crowd that he seems to love. I'm not a psychologist, but I play one on Blue sky.

He has to know by now he’s a shitty analyst. He’s a grifter.

Voter disenfranchisement should never be the brand of the Democratic Party. Ignore this buffoon.

If Matty fell off the face of the earth would a single soul miss him?

Getting rid of VBM is just stupid and wrong no matter which perceived party or base would benefit. It's just an unalloyed good for democracy.

Yglesias is an idiot. A speaking asshole if you will.

He's conflating high turnout with VBM. He's correct in that higher turnout doesn't always benefit D's (see Trump 2016 and 2024) but that's different than VBM.

I agree broadly speaking but my snarky reply that came to mind was "the Harris 2024 campaign would like a word."

Saying that people with mobility issues, elderly, those who will be out of town or out of the country on election day cannot vote is preposterous. Every American over the age of 18 has the right to vote. Period.

And why does he recommend Democrats act in a bipartisan way if they retake the house? They'd better prioritize protecting democracy.
