There’s a term in studies of how politics is covered by media organizations: “horse-race” journalism. You don’t see or hear much about a candidate’s policy beliefs or plans, just how much they won or lost by. Some people vote based on whether or not they think a candidate will win.

Earworm of the day

It's constantly about that! Where have you been that you have not seen a news story about how people can't afford groceries? Are you just saying this to better analytics?

Reading two pieces in @theatlantic.com about political commentators Hasan Pike and Jennifer Welch and missing the days when we argued about policy ideas and how government could/should benefit people
