I just got done shitting on this article and The New York Times in general after someone on Masto pointed out that it didn't say a word about abortion, which seems like an odd omission for someone casting about for successful strategies for Biden to use.

I didn't realize until reading this headline that yes, the political genius the New York Times has found was an advisor to the famously successful and media-savvy Hillary Clinton campaign which used this exact strategy to drive its historic victory oh wait hang on.

He's also so well-known in politics that he's not in Wikipedia. Not that that automatically means he's wrong, but I'm not real convinced.
