Ignorant media horserace coverage that pretends politics has no history or trends is really bad for our country.

One of the worst places this manifests is how many news outlets refuse to report on negative partisanship and Trump's very high ceiling of potential support.

This is an unfortunately rare NY Times piece which correctly notes the history at least https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/26/us/politics/democrats-special-elections-biden.html
