- annexrichmond 2mo agoThe problem he was reacting to (local decisions dominated by people with locked-in benefits and low future exposure) is real. His idea there is silly but I think treating a couple of provocative X replies as some far right agenda is its own kind of overreach.
- kennywinker 2mo ago> The problem he was reacting to (local decisions dominated by people with locked-in benefits and low future exposure) is real So like, idk, people over 60yrs old voting against climate action? Or maybe people making over $500k/year voting against a social safety net? Those seem like far more consequential groups exerting influence than the very poor (who as a demographic don’t actually vote much anyway). But anyway, whatever group you’re talking about disenfranchising, the fact that you’re talking about disenfranchising anybody makes you an enemy of democracy.
