Very cool to have my research on progressive insurgent candidates cited in The Economist. TL;DR: there's more progressives who should enter Congress after the November elections than the last several www.economist.com/united-state...

How far left will Democrats go?
Its base is almost as mad at their leaders as they are at the president

I'm working on a project on cross-national young gender gap that shows dif patterns. The below w ESS & CSES data show 1. Dif in ideology (id=standardized by country) btwn young men & women, where x is year & y is standard deviations 2. Young men & women ideology relative to other age-gender groups
This shows the difference in young men's and young women's (<30) ideology, standardized by country, over the last two decades. The trend lines include confidence intervals. A point above the dotted line indicates that young men are to the right of young women. This shows the average ideology of age-gender groups between 2002 and 2023. Ideology is standardized within country. Above the dotted line means the group is that many standard deviations more right than their country mean, while below the line means the group is that many standard deviations left of their country mean.

Sam Zacher & I have a paper under review basically to this effect. Among Democrats, renters have distinct left preferences in candidates (e.g. Sanders) and housing reforms (broadly YIMBYism). We find less distinction among Dem renters and homeowners with national social policy prefs.

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.
