“You don’t accomplish anything by posting” is such a ridiculous & boring take. I have learned so much from so many people on social media just from them posting. I have shared that information with others. We have changed our behaviors based on information to impact communities & ourselves.

So many neat things happening that give reason to believe we can still build a better world, even in the face of climate catastrophe & right-wing psychosis. We can't give up hope.

Regular reminder (no one reads me but I’m still self-conscious abt repeating myself) atmospheric CO2 for the next century (& only that, ideally) is a stock not a flow problem. A leak followed by a gradual reduction is a fucking DISASTER that we now have a pathway to avert.

Which is obviously not future-oriented! But it's a kind of alternate reality future. I do think whatever happens with this period and whether it's Biden or someone else, a vision of what's over the horizon is pretty important and has been a bit absent in this campaign.

It was good. Not as inspired as the first 2. It’s like they had their fun and then had to clean up everything for The Ending. And could coast on all the motifs. Gotta add tho that Elizabeth Debicki & Goth were especially marvelous together.

I.e. ppl focus on the person of POTUS instead of the functioning of an admin. because it’s a discursive norm established via pressers & debates & interviews & celebrity-like commentary.

Agreed but not because it’s inherent to the institutional structure of the Executive but because of broadly pre-modern undemocrstic political socialization.

for me the Biden conversation is entirely about whether he can win in November. i’m not worried about whether he can actually do the job because i don’t think it’s a real job.

Yeah that’s a big aspect to it, sure. I just have this conviction (I’d like to think I cld be reasoned out of it w enough knowledge) that it is administrations function even if the POTUS is merely a figurehead for governance.

it’s a performance of mass civic political engagement, so the plutes like it w/ low substantive engagement w salient public policy. it gives low-engagement voters a (false) means of political comparison, so the plutes & the low-engagement unaffiliated’s like it.

(thx for the engagement & I'll read but not respond further. one last point...) if proponents accept Senile POTUS (in part by reframing Biden as Final Say Elder Statesman w/ Good People Governing) you've pretty well overcome the "representativeness" small-d democratic problem anyway.

no me neither. but I am contending it's a perception/electability problem much moreso than an objective governance problem, & perceptions are pretty freely constructed around what would otherwise be a non-problem.
