@jaycaspiankang Swing voters care about housing costs, and no Democrats disagree about El Salvador. Zoning is a mostly low salience but real internal policy debate that becomes an electoral winner if implemented, vs gulags you can only prevent happening by winning.
@jaycaspiankang Some ideas are low salience high leverage, some are the opposite. These are two different dimensions, popularism isn't the idea that the most important thing to work on is exactly what swing voters care about most.
