“a “both sides” diagnosis obscures the asymmetry between a faction seeking to reverse social progress and those resisting it. Polarization is this less the disease than democracy’s immune response to an unpopular, antidemocratic mvmt.” @lilymasonphd.bsky.social Yes. This is a prob in science too.

Don't enroll yourself or your parents in Medicare Advantage and this is why

At least one million US seniors will be forced to switch health plans next year as the largest Medicare Advantage providers cut benefits and discontinue some offerings in the wake of rising medical costs and heightened government scrutiny. About 390,000 people are part of UnitedHealth plans that are shutting down, a company spokesperson said. Humana has said that it will cut plans covering about 600,000 people. CVS Health’s Aetna and Centene are also shrinking their Medicare Advantage options.

“Opposition parties do win unfair elections, & a restored US democracy will remain unconsolidated until both major parties commit to its defense” This is why we need multiparty democracy reforms. The far right authoritarian party is highly unlikely to moderate under our existing institutions.

This is one reason why the “polarization” discourse drives me up a wall. Not only do pretty significant majorities agree on a range of issues; many elected officials from both of the nation’s major political parties align on the OPPOSITE SIDE of many of those same issues.
