The link for this just went live, so I thought I would post it as it continues the discussion from the article a few days back. They address the content of the article and also dive into the backlash to it, including Oster's reaction.
Oster does elaborate that she believes there is a space for apology and accountability, and says she is not necessarily advocating for simply moving on.
I'm honestly curious if this article/story gets much reach if it will have an effect on the election. It got a pretty visceral reaction when it was posted, and having that fresh in those voters minds could motivate them to go out and do something about that frustration at the polls.
