all very well said! i think the issue I have with what he said was that it was unnecessary.
Yeah I definitely think it’s a hard line for Dems to walk—you’re right that telling racist voters they’re racist won’t change that—but ultimately it was something he went out of his way to say, so I think it’s fair to say it was a misstep.
that isn’t really true, as Prof. Hasen said they can publicly ask super PACs not to spend in their district. the definition of coordination is also pretty narrow, they can’t coordinate on independent expenditures but they’re not forbidden from all contact.
not sure where i said people shouldn’t vote for democrats, or should vote 3rd party, or should stay home on election day
honestly I like Noel and Sandi both separately and on other shows but on Bake Off it’s just so forced, they don’t have the Mel & Sue magic
