    People are "anxious to believe" conspiracy theories because: 1) More comforting than facing the messiness of reality, where no one's really in charge, and the reason bad things happen is often bad luck and human error 2) In the internet era, you can find "validation" for anything

    cc: every journalist in America. Now is the time to talk about your plans for November and how you are going to appropriately cover the election given this reality.

    One of the strangest things about this moment is that more committed you are to the Democratic Party, the less power and ability to sway any event you think the DNC has.

    1) Former Trump trade advisor today 2) Me in in Oct Bailing on TPP, ditching the anti-China containment strategy, and being a jerk to allies--instead of confronting China as a bloc--undermined the trade war from the start. It sucks, but can't just reverse it now.

    All kidding aside, people with massive followings who have felt the need to promulgate conspiracy theories (when uncomplicated incompetence is almost certainly the answer) are behaving disgracefully.

    3 big Bernie arguments took a hit yesterday: -Caucuses are better than primaries, because they do more to measure enthusiasm -Bernie will win the general election by inspiring tons of new voters -Democrat-run gov't can smoothly take over and run the entire national health system

    The Dems taking a day or so to get Iowa results is clunky and embarrassing, but not a crisis of democracy, and not a conspiracy against your candidate. Folks really need to calm down.

    Interesting piece with compelling arguments. I’ve mostly stopped believing claims that academia is indoctrinating young minds with postmodern rhetoric because too many of those purporting these assertions are nothing but hot air dispensers peddling their keyboard wares.

    Presidents face moments where things are uncertain, people are getting nervous, and bad info spreads. With Iowa caucus uncertainty, Warren & Klobuchar calm and responsible, Pete & Bernie prematurely declare victory, Biden & Sanders camps cast doubt on integrity of the process.

    So, & I (among many others) have been spending a lot of time post-2016, thinking about institutions and why they are failing at this moment in history 1/

    Call your Senator, Mr. Rubio. There’s an election security bill that passed the House that Senate leaders are refusing to let the Senate consider. You’re from a big swing state, Mr. Rubio, and your Senators are both in the majority party. They might have some influence. Call them

    Do not describe things as “secret” when what you mean is “first I’m hearing of them, though it seems they have a bunch of press releases, a newsletter, and a podcast”

    New from me: No, liberal professors are not brainwashing their students. You all know the Indoctrination Thesis. For large sections of the Right, it is taken as Gospel proof. But the overwhelming weight of evidence says it does not happen.

    The freakout on Twitter this morning, over the Iowa Democratic Party delaying its release of caucus results until it has double-checked them, is an indictment of ... Twitter. And the press, including me. Chill. The process was open. All the numbers were recorded. Wait for them.

    With the Des Moines Register poll, enlarged font size left a candidate name off some call sheets, so out of an abundance of caution they scrapped the whole poll. What you're complaining about is pollsters acting with scientific integrity.

    Recognizing that electoral systems may be vulnerable to error or cyber attack is very different from claiming that American democratic institutions are being deliberately distorted by the people who oversee them in an effort to help/hurt a single candidate

    When Trump says Dems rigged 2016 and are rigging 2020 against Bernie, it's not because Trump has real concerns about electoral fairness, nor because he thinks Bernie would make a good POTUS. If you join, including in a joking (not joking) style, maybe consider what you're helping

    Russian intel and state media saying elections are rigged, Trump and his allies saying elections are rigged, and American leftists saying elections are rigged aren't all working together or anything. But whether they intend to or not, their efforts end up complementing each other

    Russian foreign policy goal: undermine confidence in democracy, esp in West. Trumpist goal: undermine confidence in democracy, esp in US. Normalize joking-not-joking style, say elections rigged (even 2016). Undercut efforts to block foreign interference, back up if lose in 2020.
