fun chat--lots of enthusiasm for a big, meaty game that's still going strong almost 20 years after its debut! you're bound to get some listeners wondering how to dive in and get started--to that end, some ideas:

one thing it might mean is that there are a lot of reactionary centrist pundits and has-been political strategists who based their advice to Democrats on too-sweeping 2024 conclusions and forward-looking assumptions that aren't going to be as enduring as they figured
