Fresh out with @salilb.bsky.social at PRQ! We find that even after accounting for ideology, Republican primary voters are more likely to reject climate action while Democratic primary voters increasingly support it, making primary electorates more polarized. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Great new paper out at @ajpseditor.bsky.social. In old school terms, women have a more enhanced sense of the D term. This finding helps explain US women's higher relative turnout despite women still lagging in terms of engagement-encouraging resources. Likely esp important for Black women.
