Public opinion isn’t disconnected. Polling is. When the Centrist Dems - then just a small faction of largely white men from southern politics - started polling literally everything in the late 80s they were mocked for it. “Governing by poll” was lampooned! We should ask when & why that changed.

Legitimately had a moment thinking it was Hasan Piker. I've only heard this guy referred to as "the fort hood shooter".
