Mans got terrible politics but this is like a 10pt electoral boost

What I want is a ProPublica style newsroom with a Defector structure, staffed by disaffected NYT and WaPo veterans, publishing under a serious national masthead with a name like “The New Standard“

100% agree, hence needing the right people and orgs and I guess also legal structure. IMO a hybrid cooperative model would be a dream, but would have to be framed so it makes sense to a broad readership

If you got the right names and organizations behind it and worked with ActBlue to figure out small dollar fundraising, I think you might be able to speedrun building a new paper of record

vance’s personal communication style is to behave like a preening, belligerent oaf in order to impress two 14 year old boys in one of the most racist group chats in history

Separating markets as technology from markets as ideology is IMO a key step for humanity to move forward

Yeah, one way to think about this is “what if we were truly committed to an equitable political and economic order and also used markets as coordinating mechanisms wherever they are the superior implementation“

The schism is fake. Every liberal worth a damn in this moment is a leftist, every leftist worth a damn is a liberal. Every centrist worth a damn is moving our way and side eyeing the right. Every conservative worth a damn has gone Dem Juche and writes for The Bulwark in earnest attempt at redemption
