'There’s a belief among a certain set of Democrats that taking an idea and cutting it in half makes it a better idea when it just makes it a worse idea'

Conatel incauta equipos de @VPITV, Seniat sanciona a @diariopanorama, enfilan ciberataque contra @DiarioTalCual e intentan criminalizar a @EfectoCocuyo. En Venezuela, 2021 anuncia la aplanadora contra los medios independientes.
@angelocolina Mira este. Me gusto mucho mas que Alabama Snake. No reenactments y el crimen es mas reciente. Seguro que viene otra temporada por nuevos descubrimientos gracias al docu
@cris7ian @GuaikerElMejor Elon no "invento" Paypal. Su compania https://t.co/QoiKhO8Yad se unio a otra compania que tenia ya Paypal como uno de sus productos.
I agree with this. The Biden administration needs to resist clever theories about sequencing. They need, to the fullest extent possible, to blitz, just flood the zone with executive action. https://t.co/sZtOGVD2ZE
First it was the opposition, then the oil workers, the military, the bureaucrats, the unions, the protesters, the shopkeepers, the non-profits. Now it is the turn of the left to face repression in Venezuela. https://t.co/oHy5vBslz5
An incompetent coup, a clown coup, a ludicrous coup, a ridiculous coup - these are all still coups. And if you can't bring yourself to say so, then you don't really believe in democracy any more.
"If we do not have the capacity to distinguish what’s true from what’s false, then by definition the marketplace of ideas doesn’t work. And by definition our democracy doesn't work. We are entering into an epistemological crisis."
- @BarackObama to @TheAtlantic, posting Monday.
The most alarming aspect of the past week is not Trump. He is doing exactly what he has always done.
It’s the way Republican elites have consolidated around him. Without them, Trump is just a ranting loser. With them, he’s a threat to the country. https://t.co/AWNDDycREi
Democrats are confronting a nightmare scenario in which they are by far the most popular party but unable to win governing power. My new column: https://t.co/ZcHI2w9u4t
"What motivates parties to change, compromise, and adapt is the pain of loss, and the fear of future losses. If a party is protected from that pain, the incentive to listen to the public and moderate its candidates or alter its agenda wanes."
Over the past week, I’ve kept getting the question: What are we going to do about all this polarization? How do we fix it?
But the problem isn’t too much polarization. It’s too little democracy. https://t.co/7SDTU85EFx
"Survey takers are weird. People in focus groups are even weirder. Qualitative research doesn’t solve the problem of one group of people being really, really excited to share their opinions, while another group isn’t."
"Mr Trump thinks ideals are for suckers. The governments of China and Russia have always seen American rhetoric about freedom as cynical cover for the belief that might is right. Tragically, under Mr Trump their suspicions have been confirmed."
Donald Trump has desecrated the values that make America a beacon to the world.
@JoeBiden is a good man who would restore steadiness and civility to the White House.
If The Economist had a vote, it would go to Joe.

So Southpark's Trey Parker and Matt Stone just released @sassyjustice, a new satire project with some of the best quality deepfakes I've seen in a while.
Mark Zuckerberg, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, Al Gore, and even Michael Caine are also 'deepfaked' in the first episode.
