“When it comes to gridlock, I am — within reason — an enthusiast. A connoisseur, even. Oodles of Americans are low-key gridlock aficionados, too. In one of those utterly predictable cases of stated preferences at odds with revealed preferences, Americans say they want less gridlock in Washington but actually vote very frequently (and in a predictable pattern) for divided government and, hence, for the gridlock that comes with it. But the Democrats are doing something a little unusual in 2024: They are running on gridlock. And Democrat-on-Democrat gridlock at that. Quietly and off-the-record, of course.” (08/30/24)
