1/ 📢Very excited to share a new open-access paper in @PolBehavior: “Party or Policy? The Role of Policy Partisanship in Voter Decision-Making”

In a longstanding debate in political behavior, what matters more to voters: party cues or policy positions?

[Journal of Democracy @JoDemocracy]

Does a Moral Gap Explain Democracy’s Crisis?

When people think their political system violates the moral rules they live by, they lose faith in democracy. Some withdraw from politics. Others turn to anyone who promises to “clean things up.”

Bangladesh is heading toward an election that could redefine its political future.

But the real question is bigger than who wins. Can parties compete without fear? Can they lose without disappearing?

Democracy works only when defeat is temporary and opposition is protected.

"A democracy is only as strong as its opposition and only as resilient as its capacity to tolerate defeat," writes @Mujahedbd ahead of critical elections in Bangladesh. Read the full piece on @SAVoices. https://t.co/XkCmKDq2gU

For what it’s worth, I think Twitter has been a real net positive in my life. It’s helped me make lots of connections, it exposes me to all sorts of interesting things, and I still think the format is great for vulgarization of ideas.

I bet it’s still here tomorrow. I hope so.
