1. I've thought a lot about why the left largely ignores @Chris_arnade's remarkable book, Dignity, a book on poverty and class in America. I think it's because he challenges the core identity of Democrats, and they can't see in the blind spot he identifies.

There is so much vitriol against Arnade by the pseudo-left that something odd must be going on there. I think that thread gets at most of it.
