What Ezra is right about:

1. We need a better Right wing party.

What Ezra is wrong about:

1. Just about everything else. https://www.vox.com/21561011/2020-election-joe-biden-donald-trump-electoral-college-vote-senate-democracy

"The simplest way to understand American politics right now is that we have a two-party system set up to create a center-left political coalition and a far-right political coalition."

Neither the Dems nor the GOP are center anything. They are both moving toward the extremes.

"Two reinforcing features of our political system have converged to create that result. First, the system weights the votes of small states and rural areas more heavily. Second, elections are administered, and House districts drawn, by partisan politicians."

That is INTENTIONAL.

"To reliably win the Electoral College, Democrats need to win the popular vote by 3 or 4 percentage points. To reliably win the Senate, they need to run 6 to 7 points ahead of Republicans. To reliably win the House, they need to win the vote by 3 or 4 points."

NOPE.

First, the Senate and House seats are skewed for numerous reasons. An example...California's unique voting system, where 2 Dems can run against each other. Running up those votes skews the popular vote so much, the comparison is almost meaningless.

"As such, Democrats need to consciously strategize to appeal to voters who do not naturally agree with them."

THAT IS INTENTIONAL!!!

Dems are running a party like only CA and NY matter...and are losing...and Ezra is whining about it!

Talk about the Founders getting it right.

"That’s how they ended up with Joe Biden as their nominee. Biden was not the choice of the party’s more ideological base."

100% correct. And why the Dems deserve to keep losing. They have an American progressive party, instead of a progressive party speaking for much of America.

"Biden promised that he could lure back some of the white, working-class voters...could talk to the parts of the electorate that feared the ideological and demographic changes sweeping the nation."

INSANE. Biden talked to...Whites??? Who make up 60% of the population???

Again, Ezra got the GOP right (they are a fundamentally broken party) but missed out on the other part:

AMERICA DESERVES A BETTER LEFT WING PARTY.

The Dems continue to allow progressive clowns, who are out of step with the majority of their OWN VOTERS, to take charge.

Sound familiar? Very much what happened to the GOP under Obama.

Forcing Democrats to become more moderate is A FUNDAMENTALLY GOOD THING, just like it is for the GOP to be more moderate. The pendulum will swing. But Dems wanting a more progressive party will always be out of step with most of the country.

One final thing is this closing quote:

The Dems are now party of big money (they have outspent GOP in most elections this century), are a smaller tent (how many prochoicers remain Dems?), and barely win even though they own most of the media.

And he is still missing the point.
