But in 2020, it was newer organizers who pushed their supporters toward electoral politics. 13013

Amelia Malpas @malpas.bsky.social · 18/09/2026since far more used to be solidly Democratic, and now they're not. Thinking of both donations but also Google's behavior w map renaming. Prob just a narrow conception of self-interest driving it? 120
Amelia Malpas @malpas.bsky.social · 18/09/2026hmm afraid I don't have anything insightful to say. I would guess that while the left is on the rise, their numbers are too low and marginal for this to cause the billionaire switch. And a lot on that list seem like they're pretty long term GOP donors. Idk -- the tech question is more interesting 120

Amelia Malpas @malpas.bsky.social · 24/06/2026The paper, and my claims about the first successful progressive challengers in a while, are all at the congressional level 010
Amelia Malpas @malpas.bsky.social · 24/06/2026TLDR: the movement was moderately electorally successful. Losing challengers affected incumbent rhetoric and cosponsorship, moving them slightly more toward accommodating progressive challengers' positions. Progressive challengers have not been nearly as successful as Tea Party 140

Amelia Malpas @malpas.bsky.social · 02/06/2026I read one critique about a change in methdology in the US survey he's using -- so that's a more charitable read? But all things considered, the US has a relatively small gender gap among young people. That doesn't mean that there isn't any, but in overall political orientation, it seems minimal! 010
Reposted by Amelia MalpasAmelia Malpas @malpas.bsky.social · 31/05/2026I'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 65820
Amelia Malpas @malpas.bsky.social · 01/06/2026Yes it's self-IDed left-right (0-10), which I standardize within country. What I'm interested in comparing cross-nationally is the extent of the within-country gap, not the absolute left-right placements. I agree that those would be much harder to interpret as generalizing between dif countries 110
Amelia Malpas @malpas.bsky.social · 01/06/2026My main theory in the paper is about two aspects of labor markets having differential effects on young women & men & thus the gap between their politics. I have a control for the UN's gender inequality index but I haven't yet separately regressed the gender gap on this gender inequality -- I should! 110
Amelia Malpas @malpas.bsky.social · 01/06/2026Would be very interested in your analysis of France! I've been working on this off and on, focused on the young portion, but what I find interesting is how much variation there is. Young women seem to be the most consistently left group, but there is tremendous variation for young men (eg US vs ND) 010
Amelia Malpas @malpas.bsky.social · 01/06/2026Yes very much looking forward to seeing you again! Would love to grab a coffee or tea with you 110
