Here in NZ, we have a minor party that’s been trying to win influence and elections, called The Opportunities Party (TOP). TOP has not been very successful, and I believe it’s due to not having a core identity. Trying to resonate with people on the basis of Epistemics isn’t very effective in practice.
In this case, I’m not saying “let’s make an Epistemics Party.” I’m saying, rationalsphere people who agree on political goals should coordinate to achieve those goals as effectively as possible (which includes preserving rationality).
I expect this to look more like supporting ordinary Democrat or Republican candidates (in the US), or otherwise mostly engaging with the existing political apparatus.
