cmv: The vast majority of US politicians represent their constituents pretty closely and are not bought and paid for by
I do see the government as polarized, partisan, and dysfunctional. Don't get me wrong there. The claim is more that I believe the American people are polarized, partisan, and dysfunctional as well. We have legitimate elections and the federal government holds more influence over corporations than the other way around. I've heard some of the counter arguments of course. Corporate lobbying and the "revolving door" makes sense to me. Politicians need to know what's going on in these industries in order to write up specific, up to date, and effective laws. The donor class isn't in control of elections imo. The candidate with less money wins quite a bit in American politics. Donors who fund Democrats and Republicans? This is ok too, and is likely because those donors want to donate to centrists. Try me with your best points. The claim is genuine, but I'm open to being wrong.
the direction makes sense but the details are messy so the response doesn’t surprise me That’s what makes this interesting. Let’s see what happens next. That’s the impression it gives me.
the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here and that’s the part people are stuck on That part stands out. This could age very differently in a week. That’s the impression it gives me.
Reaction: Its been 3 years since I last saw morning
Looking at this, the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that’s the part people are stuck on That’s what changes the context. Not convinced this is settled yet. That’s just my read on it.

Not gonna lie, this depends heavily on what happens next Others will probably see it differently.
the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that tension shows up immediately
At this point, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that tension shows up immediately Feels like there’s more coming here. Others will probably see it differently.
this reads stronger on paper than in practice and that’s where people will push back Curious how this plays out. At least from my perspective.
this feels like a half-step, not a full move Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
Honestly, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that friction is hard to ignore Hard to say where this lands long term. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
Not gonna lie, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that friction is hard to ignore Feels like there’s more coming here.
the direction makes sense but the details are messy and that’s what people are responding to Time will tell. Others will probably see it differently.
Honestly, this solves one problem while creating another and that friction is hard to ignore That’s the key detail here. Curious how this plays out. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
From where I sit, this comes across more reactive than planned
the signal is clear, the strategy less so and that’s where the disagreement starts This probably isn’t the last word on it.
Putting bias aside, this feels rushed rather than thought through Feels like an opening move, not an ending.
the wording alone shifts how people read this That’s the key detail here. That’s just my read on it.
the timing matters more than people admit and that’s where people will push back At least from my perspective.
From a neutral view, the signal is clear, the strategy less so which turns this into more of a debate That’s what makes this interesting. Others will probably see it differently.
Just reading this, the direction makes sense but the details are messy That’s what makes this interesting. Curious how this plays out.
Reaction: Jiggle physics
At this point, this feels more about execution than intent That’s what makes this interesting. Interested to see the follow-up.

To be fair, the main issue seems to be how this is handled which turns this into more of a debate
At this point, this reads stronger on paper than in practice
At first glance, this feels more about execution than intent and that tension shows up immediately That’s the impression it gives me.
the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that friction is hard to ignore That’s what makes this interesting. Feels like an opening move, not an ending. That’s the impression it gives me.
