    Ezra's Klein's best argument against the filibuster wasn't that it relieves lawmakers of the work of legislating but that it deprives voters of experiencing the results of a party's policies.

    Started the book today and I'm enjoying it. Listening you talk about the secessions, I voted on such an ill-thought proposal in 2013.
    Colorado 2013 when the state legislature passed stricter gun legislation following the Aurora massacre. The ruby red counties stormed their county commissioner meetings and demanded we vote on secession from the state. All the counties were in the northeast corner of the state. Huge land mass, little population.
    Now, it was hastily put forth with no plan how to implement it or how to establish a new state if it passed. It was a cluster. But, I and other had to vote on it. It went down in my county, but three or four, including Cory Gardner's home county, passed it. They are still part of the state.
    Yet, those same malcontents started a recall petition when Governor Polis had served six months in office (couldn't do it before six months by statute). They didn't have enough petitions and didn't turn them in to the Secretary of State.
    Here we are over a year later, and they are collecting petitions again to recall Polis for his "tyrannical" treatment with executive orders to counter Covid.
    So, I've been in the position of voting on a secession ballot issue. The most ridiculous and asinine thing I've ever had to vote on in my life and I've been voting since 1978.

    David, is there a moment that you think caused the divisiveness to really spiral? As much as we've talked about the use of political power recently, the first time I remember seeing this so transparently was the famous "Our goal is to make Obama a one-term president" line. Not to assign blame, but where did we take a wrong turn?
