@Va77ss @ThinkingUSD See, they take a horrifying event and use it to incriminate a huge swath of people that haven't committed any crimes because it aligns with their prior biases. It's reductive and sloppy, but a convenient narrative because it's simple.

@DavidAFrench Our system needs significant overhaul to mitigate the partisan extremes, but open primaries should be the bare minimum.

@Noahpinion Christ dude, not everything in the universe has to be viewed through this lens. Kinda feeling like you left a lot on the same field.

@bitcoinpanda69 I get what you mean. But really, it's a matter of perspective. If one believes that his political activities were abhorrent and destructive, it's hard to separate from entrepreneurial success. Just human nature.

@jbarro Giftedness isn't a lie, but the process of identification in public schools is pretty laughable.

@SwannMarcus89 And the overall product suffers because there is no salary cap or salary minimum.

@dampedspring @BardoFaraday "Everyone in politics is corrupt" is quite the banal and lazy take.

@Noahpinion Being against birth control is the biggest loser position in any era

@DavidAFrench If I caught my kid doing this to other kids, his social life would cease to exist. The lonely eater would be the most interesting man in the world in comparison.

@Noahpinion You nean the people always going on about being the real America and the silent majority? That right?

@paulg @rrrazmikkk @RoKhanna No one is questioning that investors are the wealthiest cohort, but the question Paul asked was tedious. We can recognize that people are free to create wealth in the market, but also acknowledge the systemic advantage of capital.

[dedstik @dedstik]

@paulg @rrrazmikkk @RoKhanna But what’s the point of this narrow question when talking about the scale of wealth inequality? Is your premise that such yawning gaps are just the result of having some successful, bootstrapping entrepreneurs?

@stevehou If you mean unforced errors where the U.S. emerges strategically weaker, sure.

@mattyglesias I never quite got the less filling part until I turned 40.

[dedstik @dedstik]

@firstadopter @DKThomp People discovering in real time that democratic government is not, in fact, like running a business is always a treat.

@mattyglesias Who amongst us doesn't want to go to more dull, organized activities at night.

@rpzy @davidgaw @mattyglesias These are people who want us to think that partisanship isn’t the primary vehicle to inflict racial disparity and that it’s only racism if they explicitly say it out loud. I’m sure this is exactly what the framers of the 14th and 15th intended.

[dedstik @dedstik]

@CynicalPublius As compared to what? All the righteous Republican gerrymanders ongoing with no voter input? Your partisan indignation is eye rolling
