I'm certainly not one who thinks that the mythological Independent Voters need to be pandered to. They mostly don't exist, and to the extent that they do they aren't actually the people that NPR and the WaPo think they are. Still there are times when it's evident that a political campaign is talking to itself, internalizing a set of knowledge, assumptions, and inside jokes that the rest of the world just doesn't understand.
Yes I'm subtweeting.
