Really good piece Jonathan. Also insightful for thinking about GOP State Sen. Mike McDonnell in Nebraska who said he would vote against changing the electoral college approach in Nebraska. He was a pro-life Democrat but he was censured by the Democrats over r reproductive rights and rights of transgender Nebraskans. Now he is a Republican. I don't know the details and maybe the Democratic Party needs bright lines on human rights issues. But there will also have to be a reckoning with who is an ally. Your piece was clarifying for me.
Thank you so much. I thought the same thing as I read those comments. I'm an Ohio Democrat and have never voted for DeWine but I respect him and I was proud of the editorial he wrote.
Thanks for the kind comments. Web version is now corrected (as noted, but repeating down here) to say that Trump's theme is bigotry. Not sure how I managed to mangle it to say the opposite. Yikes!

Thank you for this. The hatred among the left for the Democrats' MVP Joe Manchin fits here.
I want to send this to my friend who won’t vote for Harris/Biden because of Gaza.
