Someone needs to inform Jay Caspian Kang of the New Yorker that "dirtbag" is considered to be a pejorative, not a positive. Yet, Kang seems to think that he is somehow helping to restore the sinking candidacy of Democrat Graham Platner for the U.S. Senate from Maine by repeatedly referring to him as the "embodiment of the dirtbag left" as he did on Friday with "What Explains Graham Platner’s Popularity?"And Kang weirdly does his worst to help Graham's supposed popularity by emphasizing Platner as a "dirtbag" starting with the subtitle: "The U.S. Senate candidate from Maine seems like the embodiment of the dirtbag left. But there’s another way to understand his appeal."
