This is an interesting and plausible read. My own read had been that NH Democrats are so high on their own supply that they really might not see the downside of what they’re doing. It’s a state where like one out of every 3.000 voting age people is in the state legislature and every four years the entire political world comes to kiss their asses. It breeds a special kind of thinking. But also those two reads of their motives aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive.
I'm getting on the phone with their comms person today, and so will be able to update this. As an aside, the poverty in many New Hampshire towns is just staggering, towns that often have huge, rusting, empty mills. Helps you understand where the vitriol in Trumpism came from that such towns are often right next door to places where wealthy Bostonians have huge spreads.
