and liberal groups need to feel much more comfortable becoming "single issue" groups that focus primarily on their policy area, without feeling the need to entangle themselves in every fight all the time

this has been core to YIMBY strategy and i think the evidence is pretty strong in its favor

Maybe prosperity is a soporific. Maybe the freedom from want (compared to previous generations) conjures up phantoms for us to fight against, like an auto immune disease of the soul.

I think that, more than anything else, is one of the greatest pieces of evidence that social media and the online world in general is fundamentally societally harmful. could it have happened without it? maybe. but it was absolutely the vector for enormous delusion

They're all broadly similar on this issue, and the degree to which Shapiro's distinctiveness -- which, to the extent it is present, is relatively thin -- is being magnified far beyond what the evidence can bear smacks of hyperpolicing public and visible Jews bc they, specifically, are extra-suspect.

The fact is that every plausible entry onto the Dem presidential ticket, Harris included, is materially indistinguishable along the axis of "aligned with Joe Biden's views on Israel", and yet it is no accident that Shapiro is having his record specifically pored over in the most merciless fashion.
