Isaac - I'm a proud subscriber of your newsletter. You do a phenomenal job. As a someone who considers themselves "middle right" - and just voted for Joe Biden - I loved what you wrote about the "non-inclusiveness" of the progressive left. I've been unable to articulate what bothers me so much about progressive politics and you did just that. It is more about telling you what's wrong with you than showing you a way in. I often find myself debating my very liberal sisters (one in Colorado, one in Oregon) regarding how they can get behind a fight for every small subgroup under the sun (i.e. left handed Croatians that suffer from nacrolepsy) - but won't accept or embrace my conservative parents, who both voted for Trump, and share a different world view than them. It's blindingly hypocritical to me. My parents are not immoral, racist pigs - they are good, hard working, loving people, who are faced with a tough binary decision on election day. Anyway, I just want to thank you again for work and your words. - Joe Thompson, Fort Washington, PA
