  • Okay, show me this happening. Because literally every economic crisis I’ve had the privilege to live through, thanks the the Keynesians, the Chicago School of Business types, and Friedmans, has been associated with inflation.

    Show me. Prove it. These economists make claims and don’t have to back them up with empirical data or theories that predict future states of the world.

    I don’t make the assumption something is true because it sounds good and tells a good story. Prove it.
















  • You want the electorate to be different than it is. You want them to have seen the existential threat which Trump was and is. You want them to be engaged and committed to showing up even when there is nothing on the ballot for them. I wish that voters were better than they are too.

    But this is reality and we don’t get to base our strategies on how we wish things are. We have to base them on how they actually are. We can’t run campaigns for the voters we wished we have access to, we have to base the campaigns on the voters we actually have access to.

    You want the electorate to be different than it is; but it isn’t. If you approach predicates the electorate be different than they are, you will lose.

    You either meet the voters where they are at or you are making a conscious choice to lose.
