“But wait, does all this mean that nonvoting Democrats stayed home in 2024 because Democrats’ policies were too progressive? Not necessarily…”
But quite likely, and in fact very likely. But this is The Nation, so even the suggestion that this is a possibility is a great admission. When a media channel that is left-wing acknowledges a right-wing or centrist position, this is a real piece of information, in an information-theoretic sense.
Much as when Bill Buckley and the National Review came out in support of civil rights in the 1960s.

When the unexpected happens, that’s the real news.
