Every damn book, conference, big money fellowship has been about reducing polarization. Many knew the real issue wasn’t polarization, but that polarization was the only politically correct proxy for the real problem. What a joke man

This is why I have real fucking problem with blithe criticisms of "polarization" or "congressional dysfunction." We have a Republican member blaming his colleague for being attacked.
The problem isn't polarization or dysfunction. It's the Republican Party.

effectively the court is saying that there is no such thing as racial polarization, only party polarization. or at least, there is no such thing as racial polarization when to say otherwise would be to potentially benefit the democratic party.
It gets a little more wild each time they say it.
So if every single Black person votes one way, and every single white person votes the opposite way, every election, that's not even RELEVANT to whether voting is "racially polarized"—as long as this durable disagreement is organized into 'parties.'

"Worse than Bush after Katrina" is a polling benchmark that I thought that partisan polarization had made impossible
Pollster: 58% of Americans say Trump's second term has been a failure. A year into term number two, Trump's numbers look worse than any other president. Trump is even worse than George W. Bush after Katrina and a long period in the Iraq War. This is really, really bad.

‘Polarization’ has become the master concept for diagnosing our current democratic crisis.
But this is not polarization. It is the radicalization of the political right.
By misdiagnosing it, we risk becoming complicit in the crisis. 🧵

sir, educational polarization has hit the republican fed chair

Koch funding a “Polarization Research Lab” is the perfect example of how reactionaries are eagerly using “polarization” laments as a strategy to shift blame and attention away from the extremism they exhibit, support, and enable.

given education polarization and MAGA's reliance on low propensity voters, something like the SAVE Act would almost certainly backfire on republicans (i'm reasonably sure senate republicans understand this too)
i'm against barriers to the fanchise but it would be extremely funny if the republicans enact barriers to voting and nuke their voter base
Been toying with the same thought. Pointless barriers to voting pitched as a solution to an imaginary problem are a bad idea in principle, but Republicans seem very sure it will help them on net, and that’s not really obvious to me.

It's education polarization, it's always educational polarization, it's literally just educational polarization, and nobody has a fucking solution to it which is why every one of these fucking articles is the fucking same.

Democrats bend over backwards every election to show empathy for conservatives! Harris ran a campaign almost exclusively focused on appealing to the right.
I'm not gonna pretend there's an easy answer but most post-election discourse seems like it's criticizing a campaign that didn't happen.

making college free as a means to harness educational polarization
Latinas might snap back to the Democrats. Particularly as more Latinas go to college. But working-class men without degrees are a staple of the modern right-wing coalition across the globe. Latino men are one of the groups least likely to have a college degree.
