It does seem odd to have Schumer--who opposed the JCPOA (forged by his party's leader, Obama!)--be Majority Leader when the reason Dems are the majority is that fellow-JCPOA opponent Trump withdrew from the deal and then went to war over the nuclear issue withdrawal created.
i think there's a unifying explanation for why i think EAs, bay-area rationalists who talk about p(doom), people who use ``arbitrarily'' in a pseudo-mathematical way, people who talk loosely about ``priors'' or call themselves ``bayesians'' are somewhat epistemically vicious

Libbed-out Hanania making an exception to still support Vivek because he defends the rights and character of pedophile rapists feels like parody, yet is somehow true
extremely funny bit for reality to be running that the left is posting clips from the mussolini aura edits as the right is posting star wars and harry potter fanfiction
for some reason the left is very worried that saying anything about anti-social crime risks legitimising a carceral agenda but doesn't get that tailing popular narratives about taxation risks legitimising a low tax agenda
call me red-brown or whatever but I think it's very bad when left populists want to agree with the public when they say that taxes (on everyone who isn't a billionaire) are too high but not when they say it's bad when people scream at or threaten you on public transport
if you think it's a good idea to tail anti-tax sentiment and hope voters come along for the magic money tree ideas about how you can replace all taxes with a wealth tax that only hits billionaires, cut defence spending and massively expand social services idk what to tell you
