I would totally like to have written that but unfortunately there are meta reasons to not take such analysis as seriously on this particular date. I’ll write at a later date, the irony is that LW might it considered more political on that later date when its actual political influence in terms of LessWronger voting behaviour is likely smaller.
And there are salience reasons not to talk about it other times. I defy the meta level concerns. Because of acausal trade, don’t be coy for decision-theoretic reasons.
;)
Seriously, make your case if you want to. Or at least be explicit about the decision-theoretic reasons not to. You shouldn’t be concerned that there will be affects on the election tomorrow.
If that’s the case, then I encourage you to take a break from engaging with people about politics on LW or otherwise. I know from experience how draining it can feel, especially for those of us with non-mainstream political views during political cycles.
Plus, as you said, today may not be the optimal day to have this discussion. Although I do look forward to reading your arguments on the issue once the election cycle is over.

Yay, now lets go more meta since I’ll tell you that I was totally aiming for this association. Up voted :D
Edit: Seriously, I totally will but on some later date.
Are you channelling your inner Will Newsome?
Nuh uh, not cool enough.
As the map is not the territory, I decline to go meta, because we are already enduring it.
Edit: Apparently, some folks aren’t clicking through my link in the grandparent, and don’t get the joke. Or don’t think it is funny. Too bad. :(
