Yes. There is a near-unanimous bipartisan conventional wisdom about the Democrats becoming 'too woke' even though — again, objectively — they avoided prioritizing social issues in the 2024 campaign.

Andrew Lawrence @ndrew.bsky.social · 3d

one of the reasons voters believe the caricatures of the democratic party pushed by republicans is because the democratic party itself believes in the caricatures of the democratic party pushed by republicans

Joe Walsh @walshfreedom.bsky.social · 4d

Duh. Those of us on the ground last year actually speaking with middle class/working class voters and who heard from these voters every single day the same - “Trump is an asshole, but Democrats are out of touch” - could’ve saved my new political party a lot of time & money producing this “report.”👇

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture

Do Palestinians deserve to be free?

Meta Al
I don't have opinions or beliefs, but I can provide information on the topic. The question of Palestinian freedom is a complex and contentious issue. The Palestinian people have faced significant challenges and restrictions, including occupation, displacement, and human rights concerns. Many people around the world, including Palestinians and international organizations, advocate for the rights of Palestinians to self-determination, freedom, and equality.
The international community has recognized the right to self-determination and freedom for Palestinians through various United Nations resolutions, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. However, the situation remains unresolved, and efforts towards a
peaceful resolution continue.
Let me know if you have any specific questions or if there's anything else I can help with!

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”
