Ignoring its impracticality, this proposal offers no solution to problem you highlight. As Madison noted in Federalist 10, “As long as the reason...
You may be right about that.
Elo ratings are power rating algorithms, largely influenced by margin of victory (or loss). They are the best predictors of future outcomes, so if...
Oh I agree that kids aren’t reading Burke and Hayek. I don’t have any insight into exactly where the American right is going. Again, I am just...
It’s funny that you should mention this book. I just finished Jonathan Rauch’s Cross Purposes, where he reviews the post-liberal movement in...
I think you are right that there is threat of an illiberal right (though many have complained over the last decade of an illiberal left as well),...
Indeed, false equivalencies exist. Though if the behaviors aren’t equivalent, I don’t think the judgement can be properly labeled hypocritical.
I think we are again up against the issue of who gets to decide what is or isn’t a conservative. By the definition you’ve provided, Trump would...

Woah, sounds like a home run.
Jail those convicted of crimes, and don’t jail those who haven’t. Just like we all learned in elementary school. I’m not really sure why this...

Perhaps TV rots your brain, but politics can most definitely accomplish this task. I’m hoping that this post is just intended to be insulting,...
If you guys keep advocating for presidents openly defying the Supreme Court, there won’t be another 100 elections.
I actually think there is good reason not to publicly fund any media. Unfortunately, Trump as usual has instead appealed to a terrible reason:...
This is the kind of thing that has me worried about all these Trump admin cuts. There are real failings of different division of our society. But...
I am coming to like you, Vegas. In the myriad times that Trump supporters have been asked who should decide who can be deported, not one has...
We definitely haven’t met our very high expectations for this year and appear rather inconsistent. But like others have pointed out, if you can...
