factionalist

faction is a more important cleavage in American politics than ideology but only some of us realize that.

a better world is possible.

An important thing to understand about the fed's interest rate policy is that it seeks to bring down inflation by making goods and services less affordable

We should deport them all back to SF nobody should have to talk to these people

The way San Francisco lost almost 7% of its entire population in 2021 alone is completely insane. For reference, New Orleans lost 10% of it's population between 2005 and 2009!

my account is literally called factionalist and I'm still less of a factionalist than this guy

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

If your top priority is Susan Collins the most important thing is to get Platner off the ticket ASAP and all the factionalists trying to hold it hostage for leverage — leverage they want to use to get a Platner-linked nominee who Collins can wield that against — are your enemy.

This is a great illustration of why Georgism/Land Value Tax is stupid, the increase in value of land after upzoning is one of the biggest inducements for upzoning, by removing it through a land value tax you are literally just playing into hands of NIMBYs

I wouldn't be this cocky if my candidate lost to Graham Platner by 50 points

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

Out of state progressive factionalists who brought the party to the brink of disaster should really not be so arrogant about the idea that they deserve a loud voice in who should replace Platner on the ticket.

You know, I bet if Democrats just nominated Marco Rubio in 2028 we'd win by a mile! Think of how many Republican voters we'd get! And the Democrats would show up too probably. I should start a substack.

@srsjeff @bdquinn I think Medicare for All is good and murdering Palestinian children is bad so I like Abdul but you're entitled to your opinion

[factionalist @factionlaist]

@srsjeff @bdquinn It's a popular but bad policy that wins a good candidate votes

@ZaidJilani It would be funny for the two Maine senators to be King and Shah

@alexbronzini There's no federal property tax, so

@realsaadasad I hold the elite synthesis position (anti YIMBY because I find them personally annoying but largely supportive of the various pro-construction policies)

@fawfulfan Many such cases

this should at least give LVTers pause given that Thiel is both evil and stupid

Peter thiel on Henry George

[factionalist @factionlaist]

@marine_stud_ @KaraOnTwt why

[factionalist @factionlaist]

@fawfulfan Not enough on its own but in combination with eg growth in Jackson maybe you can get there. There's nothing wrong with Wyoming that couldn't be fixed by 400,000 Democratic voters

@marine_stud_ @KaraOnTwt If you're a marine stud why are you such a pussy
