“Most Americans live in cities, which are diverse in their geography, size, and demographics” shouldn’t be that hard for people to grasp imo

N=1 but my choice to live in the South is probably impossible to disentangle from the fact that I grew up in the South and it feels familiar. However, I’ve also lived in the PNW, the Bay, and the Southwest, so it’s not like I’m completely trapped here by circumstance either.

Sure, but it’s also not pure circumstance either - people will apply to colleges in places they want to live, for example. I think the reasons people live in the specific place they do are pretty tough to parse out and they almost certainly don’t fit neatly into a choice vs. circumstance dichotomy.

I think he’s saying that it’s an easy decision to try to primary him, not necessarily easy to be successful (although if the folks I’ve met at No Kings protests are any indication, the dem base has been very upset with him for months now)

I’d start with Warner, good chance Kaine fell on his sword for Warner and no way is VA voting red next fall so we aren’t losing the seat
Any likely candidates?

@kaine.senate.gov as a constituent of yours in Roanoke, you can count on never getting my vote again in a primary if you cave on the shutdown without a guarantee on extending ACA subsidies

House Dems out here basically saying the Senate is in the bag for the Slave Power, I’m living for it
