Damon, I'd be interested in reading your discarded piece just for the sake of reading good writing. Perhaps make it Subscriber Only? Or is that a no-go as you were contracted to write it for a specific outlet?

I couldn't agree more with your stated reason for why you love politics. The challenge of trying to solve complex problems, as well as understand and (try to) persuade people in a complex society was always what drew me to the field. I have little love for the pugilistic side of politics--even if I do enjoy the occasional shitposting on Twitter--and your thoughtful approach continues to impress.
