That's the crux of the matter, isn't it?
- BerislavLopac 11y agoNo, this is: "but then I don't know what to advocate for" Everybody "knows" that things should be changed, but nobody knows how and to what.
- ddingus 11y agoIndeed. I see positive, fact based and data driven policy advocacy as most productive. Fear, worry, shame based advocacy does more harm than good. Generally, of course. Sometimes we need those things, but not as norms in the political dialog. When we are FOR things, it seems easier to work together on them to expected outcomes. Being AGAINST things is much easier, but so often leaves a hole we hope will be filled by market forces and that outcome will be better, or worthy. Sometimes it is. I believe in markets, but they do come with inherent conflicts of interest that can be difficult to manage. On this issue, it seems necessary to have a plan and a just and reasonable outcome goal.
