@grimalkina I'm listening tot the Andor episode of and was struck by a notion on the in-group/out-group discussion around voter messaging. Perhaps that the universal messaging does worse is because we can sense the truth and appreciate the honesty of having a more specific message, with more specific benefits even if not for our in-group. Whilst the universal message gets interpreted as vague and fuzzy, like it's trying to hide some "bad stuff".

Dear @washingtonpost.com: these two paragraphs are absolute malpractice. Utterly disgraceful. You use total counts, not rates … for the THIRD BIGGEST CITY IN THE US. Of COURSE it has a high total. And rates “have come down” … with a link, but no number. Down FIFTY PERCENT IN FOUR YEARS.
