      Nope. Not defending Kavanaugh. I haven't, and I won't, defend either the man or his character. I will, however, defend his right not to have a mob decide his fate. Personally, I don't want him on the court, because I knew boys like that, as most girls did. We can do better.

      Oddly the mob may have decided his fate after all... unintentionally so. i mean, what if the left mob's huge pushback inspired the right voters to go through with the yay as to spur the opposition in a big way to match their attack on their party and then candidate

      I think this is exactly what happened. Unintentional on the part of the mob, for sure, but they, and all those like them, might learn something from what happened. As should the democrats, who are losing loyal voters right and left as they fall prey to mobthink.

          Funny how she only seems to focus on one side though. For such an open thinker and all.

          Replying to @VinnyM27 @adamTHX1138 and

          If one mob is attacking you and another mob is attacking someone else, you tend to focus on the one at your door. It doesn't diminish the problem of the other mob's existence, but self-defense takes priority.

          The mob that got her exiled from her job. The same mob that attacks her over calls to nuance and reason. The same mob that requires a united front against its perceived enemies, and goes berserk any time someone suggests some critical thinking.

          Err... except the confirmation was not decided by voters but by the senate and the Republicans already held the majority? Maybe the real lesson is ‘when you have a majority, you can confirm Supreme Court candidates when your party members vote along partisan lines’.

          I don't get how one, like Heather, starts down a causal chain but can pick an arbitrary stopping point. Sure, the outrage from left triggered the right, caused by the right's demonetization of a victim solely telling her story, caused by... The buck stopped at who held power.

          The "left" must better, thinks Heather, as if that is a "winnable" strategy in American politics. There is such a divergence from reality between how politics is won and lost vs how an academic believes it should play out. It's as if she picks and chooses when to use Game Theory.
