I want to ask about source material for a minute. What is ThinkCivics? Why is it reasonable second-hand source for analysis of a non-peer reviewed article? Does it have editorial biases?
I am asking sincerely. It is a new site to me, and I don't know if it is a trustworthy source of information. The site is also unresponsive at the time I'm writing this.

- fileeditview 5y agoIs that sarcasm?
- yehosef 5y agoNo, unfortunately.
- zaik 5y agoThe text is copied from a website called "The Federalist": https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Federalist_(website) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Federalist_(website)
- throwaway5752 5y agoIt's plagiarized?
- zaik 5y agoNo, the original source is stated at the bottom of the text. The website seems to be a news areggator with a focus on US conservative talking points.
- anigbrowl 5y agoA look at the front page suggests it's a right-wing news aggregator rather than producing any original content of its own.
