Many American voters are tribal or voting between a giant docuhe vs turd sandwich because they do not see other alternatives. One solution would be more institutional decentralization and application of liquid democracy

That was a very interesting read. Thank you.

It's statistically impossible that only one side of a political sphere is all right and one side is all wrong. How about an article showing how the left violate human rights? ;-)

A statistical theory of both-sidesism! I love it. Why not a piece attacking gravity absolutists who think objects always fall towards the earth

When one political ideology always considers themselves right and the other side always wrong that leads to tyranny. In religious circles it's called a cult and in economics it's called a monopoly. And that is brought about when there is not a free exchange of ideas. I subscribed to the Unpopulist to broaden my spectrum of thinking but it seems more like an indoctrination program.

Sometimes you need to check your perspective to make sure you're not stuck in a goldfish bowl looking out.

Populism is essentially anti-intellectual.It does not propose solutions, it only appeals to prejudices.

No, not producing an intellectual reply is anti-intellectualism. General labels and name calling are straight out of the Liberal playbook.
