oh gotcha. I see that. It is cult-like.
It does also feel like how much of it is her talking to them on the phone, or going to the store, or getting things delivered to her whenever she wants, it's like some super AI Amazon botnet.

I still don't know what you mean by that.
To me, it feels more about the feeling of assimilation of humanity into the internet, or social media, or AI.

At university, I definitely knew a few kids who got their parents to buy a house near campus in their name to live in. They built credit, while renting it out to their friends, and having the best parties around. Afterwards, they planned to flip it.

I never understood what cohort in Gen-Z is actually the ones buying a house at age 20.
22% is a chunky percent.

What about these posts are indicative they want "illiberalism"?

If a pro-life democrat wins in IA or KS or smth, what happens when it comes time to codify Roe v. Wade? Do they defend their beliefs, so they don't catch flak in their home state? A bunch of Dems in Disarray headlines? "Baby-killler" death threats? Other moderate Dems that ran on it eat crow?

I keep wondering when the moderation and deliverism contradictions to get actually ironed out.
We had it with Manchin, and people hide behind how he'd be better than a R in WV. But he also threw other dems in purple states under the bus on Fox News, even when he did comply.

This is probably directly tied to how racism works in America.

Okay, I'd have to take your word on this.
But it also means there needs to be another word besides "moderation" if "preserving the status quo, in a way that the opposing party is on board on" is not "moderation."
People will talk about "preserving political capital" to avoid delivering.

The big problem is that y'all are "moderation" bros, and it's the moderates that killed this sort of reform.
Maybe median voter theorem can get you into office, but if it's grid lock because people actually want to side with republicans, the whole party catches the grief.

This is not true.
There are codes, but building developers always try to make it as cheap as possible.
Without them, it'd be even uglier, because they'd make it even cheaper.

Yes, "median voter theorem" ignores them.
There are many active criticisms of thinking the electorate is a normal distribution.
Again, the people who like this particular theory are lazy, imagine that they are near "the center," and are making a self-serving argument.

This is so tired and you're clearly a lazy thinker.
Trump lied.
Republicans and the media ran cover for those lies.
He has a certain charisma.
He's not a black woman from CA.
People don't trust Dems to deliver.
There are so many other dimensions you ignore.

You'd be bringing in a lot of different people!
I don't think it's a forgone conclusion how these people will vote in the next election.
But it takes work to make them like the candidate and the party.
You can have a perfectly "median voter" candidate, but if they seem impotent, no one cares.

Ross occasionally talks to "liberals" but the chief difference is the Ross always subtly exaggerates his claims, especially about progressives, while Ezra always polite hedges his claims, especially to conservatives, because the know a center-left audience wants to feel "balanced."
It's a farce.
