Do you think IRA successfully made interventions in folks lives? Wasn't it sort of more macro focused industrial planning? Right now I'm comparing ev rebates to like no taxes on tips or overtime. I feel like ira missed the mark by a bit.

The political theory behind IRA was roughly as follows: We have lost control of the information landscape and can no longer win rhetorical or purely political battles; however, if we make substantive policy progress that directly touches voters' lives, they will notice and reward us.

@breadnrosie.bsky.social you made a tweet once reflecting on wes's campaign about how RCV doesn't really change much and front runners still have lots of advantage. But then you nuked your Twitter.
You should make that tweet again. So I can reference it.
