ANNALS OF THE UNCONVINCING: Don’t panic, Dems! Biden is … well he’s losing to Trump by 4.6 percent in a 3-way race. But, hey, a libertarian 6th candidate might help him! https://t.co/KtHa3iNqVq

Huh? He clearly says the “issue” is “border security.” What border security bill did the senate pass?
First Jake Sherman, now Yglesias. Is it an infection? Did some erroneous memo go out? https://t.co/98kRl4nGKP

For the record, the Senate leadership’s border bill–what I think Sherman was referring to–failed 50-49 on a procedural vote. 6 Dems voted against it. https://t.co/dzWASef7t5 https://t.co/4Slk4RFgiR

It’s the old contest between exit (take your business elsewhere) and voice (change from within).** Exit’s been winning–easier to pick new restaurant than teach the chef to cook. But what if the private med schools have an oligopoly and answer to a smaller, woker constituency?… https://t.co/SMLtClyvE8

Is Woke Medicine more likely to take over the private health care sector or government programs (like Medicare for All) I’ve always assumed the latter https://t.co/rkJIsgRHpe This thread suggests maybe not. With government programs, voters can force changes. With Wake Forest…. https://t.co/4z8UindHH6
