Was reading a take from the heady, utopian days of the post-Watergate 70s that non-committee chair members of Congress be cabinet members, like the UK. The idea was giving them a political base of support separate from POTUS would lead to less imperial presidency. Honestly have heard worse ideas

No we don’t have any presents. Or what was it you said? “Gifts”? No we don’t have those, why would you think that. Why are you being weird

yeah, this stuff is far from my area of expertise, but i have yet to see anyone convincingly explain how the causal chain is supposed to operate here. it feels like the "AI will kill us all people" spent too much time watching Terminator 2 and the Animatrix.

This may sound snarky but I'm legitimately curious: if ppl don't want to do this anymore, why are they? No one's making them. I'm sure they've got better than average prospects for finding a new job. Why don't they quit?

This is going to be unpopular here, but I think the Democratic Party should balance power towards Congress and away from the Executive, even if that means getting fewer policy wins in the short term, if it means making those policy wins more stable over time. (Also SCOTUS reform, obvs)

Our initial takeaways from DC’s 1st ranked choice voting election: 👍 Voters – incl. Mayor Muriel Bowser – told media RCV was easy 🗳️ Voting largely went smoothly, w/ some hiccups like a late rush of voters 🔢 At-large & Ward 1 DC Council Dem primaries likely to go to RCV counts

I may be too much of an Orwell fan, but i think it's authoritarianism, rather than conservatism or populism per se. No one ever wrote a good book in praise of the Inquisition, as he writes in The Prevention of Literature, and all today's Rs have is one inquisition on top of another and nothing else
