What David Doel says. Except that Katie Porter won by about seven points, not 20.
And Mike Figueredo is correct here and here.
Andrew Yang is correct, too, about the Democrats' toxic brand in so many places, and why the Dems need a coherent economic message, when the Republicans have a coherent cultural message. I just don't like when Andrew falls for the coastal/city mouse vs internal/country mouse dichotomy, when we can see economic messaging can be unifying from a populist perspective.
