  • The theory I've read is that lots of people are into a bit of the taboo/forbidden partner aspect of an attraction they have toward a real person in their life: their neighbor, platonic friend, co-worker, etc. But most of these connections don't really feel all that taboo when it's someone else, so the "step-" angle is just a generic stand in that carries the forbidden aspect without going too far.

  • Eh, Hanlon's Razor. There are certainly plenty of dirty neo-libs, but I also think the Democratic party is where passionate, practical minded, progressive political science types wind up, and I think that demographic is well-meaning but caught up in metrics.

    Metrics rely on historical data. Obviously Biden should be the candidate, he's an incumbent, and incumbents have an advantage. The problem is the sample size is too low (n = 47) to really control for most variables. Especially since when you consider the study longitudinally, n = 1.

    Anyway, politics is hard, and I'm willing to give a little grace to those who are least trying to be smart. Strategists seem like the smart move, but the big paradox of analyzing a quickly-changing subject is that the more data-backed your strategy, the more outdated it is. The world moves too fast now.

    I suspect a not-insignificant segment of the caucus has been been just sincerely trying to play the right moves.

  • I have deliberately avoided interacting with people like that for a while, and I don't really feel like digging back like a year to find a specific examples, especially since you came out of the gate unshakably convinced that it never ever happens.

    But I assure you they exist. No I'm not generalizing pro- Russia/China sentiment. I'm talking about people who advocate the forceful spread of their ideology through violence.

  • Unfortunately not, I have had conversations with them. And I know your next line is going to be "But they're just trolling, no one really thinks that", and I call horseshit. That "trolling", when so religiously adhered to, inspires weak-willed onlookers into sincere belief.
