Elon’s Tweet 

Re: twitter.com/elonmusk/status/15

What is missing for context is that the Democrats are not the left. Yes, in the US, some of society is more leftist than a few years ago. OTOH, many people are also more right wing than a few years ago. Some even extreme.

The reality is that in European democracies, the Democrats would be a centrist or even conservative party. Left/progressive people are not really represented in the US. First past the post pushes people to extremes to be heard.

Hey, Eric :)

Not to reignite the discussion, but it seems @slatestarcodex [just posted about this](astralcodexten.substack.com/p/). I like him a lot and usually trust his analyses, so I've saved that post for later. I think it may shed some light.

And while at it, I also saw now a couple interesting responses at the time to that original tweet, each defending opposite views: [Paul Graham](twitter.com/paulg/status/15198)'s and [Kevin Kruse](twitter.com/KevinMKruse/status)'s. I'll come back to that when I have free time, too.
