@pkgandakin the NYC-DSA nature of politics, that wants its subservients to show no internal opposition openly for the sake of 'unity', indeed smothers the force of internal opposition as a whole, and only external opposition is left to fester as a voice of the public frustration
@pkgandakin so I'm clearing up that I'm not arguing for rationality here, bit to that it's inherently a distinct measurement from utility in the flowing time, whereas one does indeed get driven by discrete actors (or, more accurately, abstractions), the other allows for fluctuation on that
