In some nearby universe my life's work consists of collecting, annotating and publishing some of the dozens of headlines which prove every day that the Iron Law of Institutions is the single most succinct summary of human political behavior ever written.

You gently tell people what #AllPoliticsIsLocal means, you patiently explain how they could gain some tremendous advantage over their adversary by taking one tiny little step outside their own frame of reference, and most of the time they'll simply flat out refuse to even consider it, and start yelling at you instead.

It's really quite remarkable.

Exactly right. These are things Dash Sulzberger — the individual human person who makes the high-level editorial decisions — considers worthy of attention.

He does not think masked agents of the state will ever come for him, or for anyone he cares about. Whether he's right about that is something we will all find out together, but only after a lot of other misery.

#AllPoliticsIsLocal

Democrats need to stop wasting money on bullshit TV ads and put boots on the ground.

One on one, door to door. Local community meetings.

Specific instructions on what people need to have to register and vote.

Provide transport for those who need it.

100% turnout must be the goal, anything less is caving into bedlam and fascism.
