Primary races are incredibly dull as an exercise in polling and hand wringing about electability. You can campaign against a candidate on substantive policy grounds! That’s actually a very compelling case to make in a primary!

Clearly we need more theory papers titled “X: Without evidence from Y”

[Pall Mall'Dib @looseolive]

@TheBilalMoin @TheOxStu I’ve found “a world-class institution for those that can manage to support a frictionless life” to be an appropriate characterization of the dysfunction I’ve encountered

"debates" as an activity are already stupid and asinine but debating *streamers* is probably the lowest form of intellectual activity outside of watching tiktoks. bro you're not in the agora of ancient athens you're on love island for ugly people during the juggling challenge
