It's another version of the same puzzle. Why can Trump embrace the Tea Party and QAnon but Dems can't say that genocide is bad? Idk.

They aren't really talking about candidates, but rather about social movements. They think the BLM, Gaza, Me Too, and LGBTQ movements harmed the party.

LLMs are optimized in part to increase user engagement. I think that's the whole story here.

End up with a new Fetterman. Definitely not a good path.

In my experience, it's very easy to misunderstand things on social media, especially if they come from a different perspective than one is used to. It's low-context communication, which has issues. But, yeah, maybe a lot of us should stop and reflect before committing ourselves to wrath...

Listen, if you have a terrible idea, it's correct to have the integrity to pair it with terrible execution.

we are not cannon fodder for "revolutionary fantasies" any more than sylvia rivera was cannon fodder for queer liberation. we are its beating heart. every trans person is proof that humanity can know itself better, can express its joy, can live authentically and with intent. we ARE a revolution.

Will the end of the bubble bankrupt the fossil fuel folks or will they just use their political connections for a bailout

It feels quick and easy at the end, but this was actually a sort of slow erosion of norms, trust, and investment in representation that dates back at least to Nixon.

In my experience, with public figures, strategy is often at least as important a guide as either belief or opinions. So I look at coalitions and incentives.
