In the post, you say “Much of existential risk reduction is political[19], so diverse and broad based coalitions can give us a useful political basis for action. Many different types of existential risk may have similar political causes[20], and a pluralistic community may open up new avenues for collaboration with those whom we each have common cause[21].” It does seem strange not to say in the main post that apparently almost all EAs would vote probably vote Labour or Democrat, so clearly something is amiss here by your own lights
I do basically agree that we should have people who we would say are on the right (hence my suggestion) and I can see why my previous comment may come across dismissive (apologies), I just don’t agree that breaking it down to party politics(eg Republican) or left-right given how broad it is is necessarily that useful.
(Again, please remember I’m not just talking about EA but ERS, but I think your point still applies)
