A few new users have shown up in this thread, and while I don’t think this thread warrants any mod action, I just want new users to have a clear sense that this sort of political discussion isn’t what LessWrong is centrally about. (A few comments in this thread seem like the sort of casual political… namecalling? you’d see in typical FB / reddit / twitter. That isn’t what we do here.)

This post is a personal blogpost, rather than a frontpage post, so the rules are a bit laxer, but even on personal blogposts the default norms tend to frown upon this sort of thread.
