    How does “signaling” translate to policy? The majority of Americans want abortion codified, legal weed, single payer healthcare, increased gun protection, and more. Why do you think these haven’t passed?

      these are separate issues; i never said signalling is the end game, but it has to start there and build

        How do you start? How does it “build?” How does this translate into reality?

        Reality doesn’t run on 40k Ork magic logic, ideas don’t become material reality if you believe hard enough.

          are you literally questioning whether concrete policy comes from discussion? do you think 1 guy just snaps his fingers and makes it so?

          politics doesn’t require 1 action… politics and swaying large groups of people requires those people to discuss and support to build over time

              the way you do for literally anything else that becomes policy… discussion is an absolute requirement to forming policy. it is, without exception, the only way to start making any change

              what comes after that is varied and complex

                  that’s called politics mate, and since it’s varied and complex - obviously so - i refuse to engage because i no longer believe you’re acting in good faith
