@adamdavidson @davidshor In the US you have bias toward conservative positions because red voters are over-represented in the Senate, and therefore also in federal courts. And of course you have bias toward what wealthy and/or influential elites like. But overall the correlation is quite strong. — PolitiTweet.org

@adamdavidson @davidshor And honestly: You can certainly study how influential groups and people affect public opinion. But *of course* public opinion (I'm not going to put it in scare quotes) is a core force in politics. At least in anything vaguely resembling a democracy. That's almost a tautology. — PolitiTweet.org

@adamdavidson @davidshor Journalists naturally focus on edge cases but for every edge case there are 100s of relatively noncontroversial policies, e.g. traffic laws and recycling ordinances and consumer safety regulations, and they broadly follow "common sense" public opinion in their communities. — PolitiTweet.org
