I basically fell into this accidentally but I actually think this is one of the great things about working a good union job. I don't have to be competitive, every day I'm doing something people appreciate, and the entire premise is that you're all in it together rather than anything zero sum.

I think @theophite.bsky.social has said it more eloquently, but I think Ezra just desperately wants to believe in people and doesn't want to think that a significant number just need to be pushed into obscurity and non-participation.

1- I never said they were geniuses, I said the D primary was more left-leaning than the general population.

If a candidate cannot win in the democratic primary, a much more left leaning electorate than the general population, then why would we assume they can win in the general election? I also don't see why Super Tuesday is particularly problematic, its not notably skewed ideologically.

I think this might be the best explanation:
I think it's becoming increasingly clear that the peace proposal was Witkoff and Dimitrev freelancing together without particular support from either government, with Dimitrev then leaking the plan before anyone had actually gotten buy in from either side.

I think there's a degree to which people are confusing a logical economy with logistics that make sense.
Economies don't need to make sense but logistics/physics ought to! @bretdevereaux.bsky.social makes this point repeatedly talking about both GoT and Rings of Power.
