I'm unsubscribing. I really thought your think tank was onto something. I'm an independent Mainer (a mindset this country needs much more of) and relished reading anything that promised to be open arms to the merits of the arguments. At first you treaded lightly on the politics and stayed on point about the economic merits of arguments - something anyone could get behind.
I came for the well-thought out discussions. I had high hopes that this would morph into a new type of think tank that steered clear of all of the distractions. It doesn't seem that is the case anymore. It's a shame, because you're speaking to both the center-left and center-right in your arguments and it's widely agreed that we need much more of this and much less hyper-partisanship.
So it's baffling why your institution would subscribe more and more to a partisan approach. At the beginning it seemed that you were going to be a institution, while nominally conservative, that could speak sanity to both parties. I tune out when the partisanship starts infringing on the merits of the arguments, and lately there's just too much going out of the way to throw some conservative red meat into posts, and you just lose me when you go down this path.
And if you really want to see progress on any of the ideas that you advocate for, you would actually focus on converting intelligent members of both parties instead of just the center-right.
