6/🧵 Why does conventional wisdom miss this? We confuse electoral swings with attitude changes. Gen Z shifted 6 points toward Trump in 2024, suddenly pundits say they're "the most conservative generation in 50 years." Only 42% of Gen Z voted. We mistake turnout shifts for ideological transformation.

Could you clarify for me if/how this would impact unlimited independent expenditures from super PACs, individuals, and other non-corporate entities? Thanks!

Thanks so much for flagging this for me, @thmoore.bsky.social. Operating via the state corporate law avenue seems like a really innovative approach - looking forward to seeing how this effort plays out in Montana.

The result of this ruling was outsized influence on legislators in passing policies that favor wealth. Reviving campaign-finance reform isn’t optional—it’s a prerequisite for a government that answers to people, not billionaires. 3/3

Thanks Miranda!! 🫶🏻

older generations have much more political experience and pragmatism. younger generations rapidly absorb new information and are full of idealism. we can learn so much from each other, and we can’t win the important fights without each other

thank you so much, adam! I really appreciate your thinking & writing on this topic & related topics. your work paved the way for this paper & has set the stage for really important discussions about how concentrated wealth (that can easily be converted into political power) imperils democracy

congrats beatrice!! so so excited for you 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

4/4 I don’t blame non-voters for the outcome of the 2024 election. by and large, people choose the best option available to them. when more people sit an election out than vote for the winning candidate, you gotta question the options (& the system that produced them) before you question the people.
