This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
Can you tell me why you think she would've been awesome? This is a genuine question. I definitely preemptively disagree with you, but I'm not going to argue and your posts of the past make me think you're intelligent.
So, again, genuinely want to know.
Amy Klobuchar is a mediocre campaigner, let me say that out of the gate. She might have had moderate difficulty winning an election due to this, but it's hard to say.
Governing, however, I think she would have been a great option. I felt like the actual policies she brought up were both focused enough and moderate enough to have had a good chance to become law, and she often spoke of compromise as a virtue. She was among the most moderate of the 2020 candidates, and I'm a moderate who aisle-crosses often, though I might lean left, so all of that I like.
She spoke a lot about consumer protections, some mild healthcare reform, wasn't excessively pro-Green, she had a relatively tough on crime background as a prosecutor (that she stood behind, unlike Harris), wanted a major infrastructure bill (and in fact later did do a lot to help with Biden's big one), was an immigration compromiser (involved deeply in almost all the major almost-law bills in the last 10 years), she even had some rural ag chops that could appeal to some red states. She wanted a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, rather than more judicial warfare, and wanted automatic 18-y.o. voter registration. All pretty down to earth ideas and friendly to the economy and budget that median and swing voters would like, and positions that are fairly close to my own as well.
Thank you for your reply.
