@SarahGrynpas @jstevewhite @StrangelEdweird @and_furiouser @ErikN_NJEdition @comgeek25 @HistoryBoomer No the idea "that an idea's political viability depends mainly on whether it falls within this range, rather than on politicians' individual preferences" — PolitiTweet.org

@SarahGrynpas @StrangelEdweird @and_furiouser @jstevewhite @ErikN_NJEdition @comgeek25 @HistoryBoomer No, I don't think most people think that way — PolitiTweet.org

@SarahGrynpas @jstevewhite @StrangelEdweird @and_furiouser @ErikN_NJEdition @comgeek25 @HistoryBoomer What if The Overton Window is bullshit? — PolitiTweet.org

@skidoosh10 Yeah but what if I don't know words, just the feeling of a scene or where a certain argument was? It's like search and find but with different inputs — PolitiTweet.org

@SarahGrynpas @StrangelEdweird @and_furiouser @jstevewhite @ErikN_NJEdition @comgeek25 @HistoryBoomer I disagree with the premise that tribalism is a human constant rather than a quality that some have lots of and others not so much — PolitiTweet.org

@clairlemon But, if I may, Australians all square off Queensbury rules style and punch kangaroos who've seized your pet dog, correct? — PolitiTweet.org

@SarahGrynpas @StrangelEdweird @and_furiouser @jstevewhite @ErikN_NJEdition @comgeek25 @HistoryBoomer Because the right and left tribes both bought into the dubious logic of microaggressions? — PolitiTweet.org

Except that, since they'd ostensibly be sneering at something that disproportionately endangers their own safety and that of their family, it seems more likely that they are misinformed or reasoning badly than that they are sneering at you. — PolitiTweet.org

Helping people to accurately record a thing they've truthfully done and that private actors want to verify, because a failure to do so imposes negative externalities on others, is not authoritarian — PolitiTweet.org

@davidbix No, you claim that sans evidence or plausibility to launder your dark impulses as if they serve social justice. I can't say you're unique in that, so probably nothing to worry about too much. — PolitiTweet.org

@SarahGrynpas @NewLiberalsPod That is not its definition though — PolitiTweet.org

Nope. In an old book, if there's a passage you vaguely remember and want to find, you can weirdly intuit roughly how far in it is and what side of the page it's on. If you hone them there's something comparable to Google for x skills, but different. — PolitiTweet.org

It would be better if you added that you personally got vaccinated--am I wrong?--because you personally believe it is effective in safely and significantly reducing the chances of serious illness or death. That's what I advised my family. What did you advise yours? — PolitiTweet.org

Biden should just announce he's giving all the unused doses away free to Mexico. The worst faction of the Trump populists will scramble to inject them out of spite — PolitiTweet.org
