“You see, the endless renovation of the Stuttgart train station is a symbol of our late-capitalist condition: the project is always ‘in progress,’ yet nothing ever progresses. The construction site itself becomes the true destination.”

Yeah, I also expected but I think people don't really see this as a democracy issue. The question right after is asking the yes people to check all the circumstances they think apply, from a list of 6. Will keep you posted

And the answer is... Agreement that under certain circumstances the government should be able to revoke people's citizenship

Not really a gendered issue but I like the direction you're going

Not at all

Not even close

Nope

That had escaped my radar, getting a copy right now!

Good guess, but no

Yes, exactly

Regression output from R showing a list of predictors for an outcome. Female has significant negative effect, left-right and income significant positive, and party dummies have no significant effect.

Political attitude (on a pretty relevant topic and fairly salient) that has little to no correlation to partisanship in Germany. Guesses?

I’m so glad to see this paper — my first solo-authored one and second from my dissertation — finally published! If you’ve heard me talk about my research in the last couple of years, you know this is the story that started it all for me, and I’m so happy to finally have it out there in the world.

A new interesting article by @beckerbastian.bsky.social , @bcastanho.bsky.social and Hanna Lierse is now available on our FirstView page. It is entitled "Taxing your cake and growing it too: public beliefs on the dual benefits of progressive taxation". Enjoy it here: tinyurl.com/2cc7x4jf

Happy to see this out with @beckerbastian.bsky.social and Hanna Lierse!

TL;DR: People believe that taxing the rich both reduces inequality AND promotes economic growth. Even those on the right! Check the thread for more! 👇

It's deeply worrying how few politicians, all around Europe, are willing to be like Ed and make the case for legal migrants

New from @erc.europa.eu project #MINORITYRULE with @sopro.bsky.social: We study voters’ knowledge about and perceptions of minority governments in 🇩🇰, 🇩🇪 and 🇸🇪.

Link: doi.org/10.1017/S147...

When survey researchers or politicians talk about minority governments, what do voters understand? ⬇️

Oh yay, since there's no open professorships due to budget cuts all around, a record number of ECRs have to gamble their hopes for future on getting one of the few lifelines still available! Fantastic!

This whole thread is incredibly important for young scholars. We all get rejected. The very first line of the first review of the first ever paper I submitted to a journal read:

"I strongly oppose publication of this manuscript in [Journal name] and any other journal"

Happy to host you at our Institute!

I hear deportation is a great way of solving criminality oh no wait

I don't think it's cognitive dissonance. Europeans disapprove Trump for style not substance
