Spot-on, delightfully written examination of masculinity as a theme in Democratic politics by @AnnaLissRoy. If "what that takes is Jon Ossoff having … huge biceps — so be it" wapo.st/4yXDYlU

Candidates posting thirst traps, calling opponents betas and ripping bench presses: This is the strange new world of campaigning as a Democratic man.
