«MAGA meant “take America back to when the boomers were young” and Trump is indeed delivering a Nixon-style boom (powered by excessive govt spending) and bust (as higher interest rates bite and 1971 style unilateral tariffs backfire). See https://t.co/xvoHvuyHog »

Here is an unannotated photo. You can clearly see the Democratic straight party and the Ted Cruz selection before I manually changed it.

This is a great post by someone I met on my ZOE trip to Kenya a few years ago. I think the only thing I’d add to it is that “strength in numbers” doesn’t just apply to vulnerable, marginalized people on the ground, but also as an organizational principle. There should never be a dependence on a single hero, anywhere in the organization.

(Also, “only the bearer of the shoe knows where it presses” is a great aphorism.)

«Another underrated fact is how well Democratic incumbents are doing in *states* that shifted from Obama to Trump. The Midwestern D senators in OH, WI, PA and MI are all poised to win re-election, probably easily. That suggests a mean-reverting election more than a realigning one.»
I.e., not a sea change.

The Republicans continue their program to destroy healthcare.

2 week’s before an election in which GOP is claiming this isn’t really their strategy. https://t.co/CWcgJEcqBr
