Oh great -- glad to see that this Open Access piece on why White Americans support democratic retrenchment is now in an issue (with some great other folks!) at Political Behavior: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Fittingly, I saw this post while slowly scrolling through/past other election related information.

The irony is that GOP candidates would probably be scared to try most vegan dishes 😂

I'll take this job. But they probably won't like what an actual social scientist would find. That people like many of the policy ideas DSA candidates run on. And many actually play out as traditional incrementalism. But hey, maybe they are interested in the truth.

Ian Shapiro @ianshapiro.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Any evidence to suggest that polling is more accurate for Dem Primaries than GOP, due to the non response concerns among more Conservative folk in recent years? Or are both kinds of races just barren of data generally?

Thanks for this! Phone videos we are getting equate to multiple independent primary sources of information. Propoganada is most potent when there is ambiguity.

Ian Shapiro @ianshapiro.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

Phone videos provide multiple independent primary sources of information. And all without being there ourselves (which honestly might give us a more narrow account since we would just have our one pair of eyes). Propoganada is most potent when there is ambiguity. One reason this is failing.

I started watching 2 shows while super sick last week. The first was Twin Peaks. This is a great one to watch while nodding in and out of consciousness. Adds to the dream-like nature. The other was The Pitt. I found myself rooting for the patients to not make it and end the misery...I was very sick.

Asked my typical question, "Why are you interested in this course?" in Intro American Gov. Student answered, "Well this new government seems pretty interested in me, so I need to get interested in them." Great answer.

This morning at @thejop.bsky.social blog, Mike and I discuss our new paper on the effects of getting the Voting Rights Act on the turnout gap — and what it might mean for the case before the Court right now. A preview in some ways of our book, out next fall! ubwp.buffalo.edu/jopblog/2025...

It's been a cool race to watch. Aftyn has done well to focus on affordability on the air waves while using her social media to remind her base, "hey we still care about the other stuff, but we gotta win on this part of the message." Hope my vote is pivotal 😅.

I live in Tennessee's 7th district with the Aftyn Behn special election. Just got the neighborhood social pressure treatment and some new "compared to others in the state" one. Neat

Humans evolved strong mechanisms for evaluating credibility. Yet these depend on an information ecosystem rich in trustworthy institutions and credible choices. The question is whether we can rebuild this epistemic infrastructure before norms of authenticity decay beyond repair, writes John Wihbey.

On 9/10 votes, these individuals would vote the same way. But intra-party perceptions of what moderate/progressive sides stand for are probably way more polarized. Probably a publication here. Attribute progressive policies to moderates and measure percieved authenticity and favorability. Neat.
