You know what's missing these days? Builders!
We highlight a great, recent piece from @RobSaldin and the @NiskanenCenter on "the abundance faction".

We are Builders (plus a poll!) https://t.co/5pS8A4G87H

"It’s not only dubious as a matter of civics to write off the nation’s rural voters—it’s a serious strategic error that imperils Democrats’ ability to hold the Senate, let alone dominate it."

The decline of local news and the nationalization of news culture is threatening to tear our democracy apart.

As @mckaycoppins writes, many local news outlets unlikely to win this uphill battle on their own. Some ideas to restore them: https://t.co/csUFaWNQN3

NEW REPORT + THREAD: Most middle-class people don’t realize it, but the eventual need for long-term care (LTC) will force many of them to drain their savings and face impoverishment.

This is arguably the biggest hole in the American social safety net. https://t.co/k9bsZv73XO

Delighted to be joining the @NiskanenCenter team!

[Niskanen Center @NiskanenCenter]

We are thrilled to welcome @RobSaldin aboard as a senior fellow. He's doing some extremely important work on the future of the two parties, looking at the future of bipartisanship in a fractured era.

New and totally worth your time from @niskanencenter's @KalMunis and @RobSaldin: how Dems can compete in deep Red, rural America...SORRY about prior misattribution!

@JoelKrautter @dparkermontana Haven't studied it enough to say for sure, but it's definitely intriguing. Proponents argue that it would facilitate more moderation and compromise, which I would certainly welcome. For some of the best research and writing on RCV, I suggest checking out @leedrutman's work.

This is Mike Mansfield, Montana Democrat and Senate Majority Leader.
For five years, he courageously told his Democratic President, Lyndon Johnson, on telephone, to his face and elsewhere that he was doing the wrong thing in waging the Vietnam War.
Democracy at work.

[Jonathan Martin @jmart]

As Biden heads to Arlington, consider the modesty of Mike Mansfield’s headstone

I always believed Steve Teles & @RobSaldin's prediction that "The Future is Faction," I just expected it would take longer to become this evident. https://t.co/JhXu9w0sMU

4. Moyn didn't even try to address the Teles/Saldin argument that NT'ers have influence because they provide policy expertise & staff key posts in GOP administrations; run campaigns; and provide ideas and guard the intellectual boundaries of conservatism

[Geoff Kabaservice @RuleandRuin]

3. Teles/Saldin stomped on the claim that Never Trumpers foiled Bernie, arguing much more persuasively that the Democratic Party just doesn't have enough supporters of democratic socialism

Anti-Trump conservatives didn’t bring down Bernie Sanders. Centrist Democrats did.
