So apparently respecting aspects of others' points of view counts as being their fan. Perhaps it might be worth posting the full tweet next time.
(And since this comment could apparently make it unclear, I am not a fan, neither of Luigi Mangione, nor Tucker Carlson)

$200/month. Soon it will be $2000/mo. In a complex, hyper-specialized, and inscrutable society, the means of cognition are being reserved for the few

It couldn't help spinning it positively in the end. The last impression is what always gets the pat on the back on the back from RLHFers.

Yes, it really ought to be a popular vote system, then we could forget about non-entities like RFK. Unfortunately, it's still the Electoral College that decides.

40,000 votes is less than a fart in the wind, yet that's how many Biden won the 2020 election by.
Arizona: +10,457
Georgia: +11,779
Wisconsin: +20,682

49% Trump vs 25% for Kamala, enough to make the difference in PA. I don’t think that many people will be sitting an election like this one out.

It’s less about getting more of a boost, I agree that probably wouldn’t have happened. It’s more about protecting Kamala’s lead from a potential Trump endorsement by RFK

I agree in spirit and I’m sure your view is more nuanced outside a character limit. But that phrasing is a little black and white.
