  • Got any good recommendations or videos for actual economists who are fairly far left? I’m from the business world where everyone is convinced the invisible hand will guide everyone to the promised land but they conveniently ignore what Smith also said is the idea that such a concept, if it can work at all, only will if there’s not much in terms of barriers to entry, no monopolies or corruption pulling strings, etc. Y’know, American capitalism at its core. Thanks in advance.


  • Bullshit. Democrats have made their disdain for democracy absolutely clear by preventing other candidates from even getting on the ballot in the primaries. I’m not defending Trump, but if Biden loses, he has only himself and the other ghouls in the Democratic party to blame. You can’t run on protecting democracy while simultaneously sabotaging it.

    It’s not on the voters to hold their noses and vote for someone who should probably be in a nursing home and very likely won’t live long enough to finish his second term. It’s on the Democratic party to allow candidates people want to vote for to participate. All this blaming of voters for wanting to sit this one out or vote third party is just so much bootlicking of the establishment.
