Politics is really important, so thank you for recognizing that and adding to discussion about Pause.
But this post confuses me. You start by talking about how protests are stronger when they are centered on something people care about rather than simply policy advocacy. Which, I don’t know if I agree with, but it’s an argument that you can make. But then you shift toward advocating for regulation rather than pause. Which is also just policy advocacy, right? And I don’t understand why you’d expect it to have better politics than a pause. Your points about needing companies to prove they are safe is pretty much the same point that Holly Elmore has been making, and I don’t know why they apply better to regulation than a Pause.
