@DKThomp @CharlesFLehman Yeah, "suboptimal" is defined in consequential terms prior to entering the overlapping consensus, which is a kind of philosophical alchemical device that sets the terms of debate in a democracy. It's a whole thing, but tl;dr we basically agree — PolitiTweet.org

@DKThomp @CharlesFLehman I think this is a false binary. I'm a consequentialist who thinks of democracy in Rawlsian overlapping consensus terms; there are certain non-negotiable political principles that it's consequentially good to accept even if they lead to suboptimal outcomes in certain cases. — PolitiTweet.org

@CharlesFLehman @DKThomp This is the collective version of "can you sell yourself into slavery," and I think there are good reasons in both cases why the rights to freedom and political participation should be considered inalienable — PolitiTweet.org
