@MappingFL Descriptively, the population of Gaza has increased. Also, if “wants them all gone” is the new definition, than surely oct 7th is a genocidal attack as well, as is Ukraine. Despite it being bad. what’s happening in Gaza isn’t super unique nor is it the center of moral cosmology

@sigmahamster2 I am familiar with who runs this account, and I know that he personally has very dem aligned abundance neoliberal views about things but I think this is moreso him trying to break into the media space by trying to get Dems positive PR regardless of whether it is good policy

@sigmahamster2 Is David Jolly not YIMBY approved?

@sigmahamster2 Iirc it doesn’t matter, both parties have access to lots of money and the marginal return of more money seems to diminish. I personally think it tends to optimize political messaging and self sorting, which maybe has downstream effects of increasing polarization, but who knows

@AmyBriggsTyrol @Mason__McCann She should have outperformed Biden in that state and the US in general, but she had all the public baggage of progressive candidates and all of the personal flacidness of moderate ones

@karthiktadepall I think what you are trying to approximate from “what even are good institutions” are governance structures, legal doctrines, and cultural values that promote impersonal cooperation.

@_AashishReddy Sortition seems like it would probably work better than representative democracy for constitutional amendments and areas of cultural contention (ie gun control, abortion, immigration)

@ARKNDJL Yeah I read the article, it just didn't really seem to be in depth. Not trying to be a jackass, I just think something a bit more in depth focused on specifically football would be cool to read, as I admittedly have no familiarity in the field.
