Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

The Weirdest Part Of Trumpistan

Is finding myself nodding along with guys like Joe Walsh.

More broadly, reading this piece, I'm struck that Walsh - who's in many ways a terrible person - has a keener understanding of how American electoral politics works than the dead end Sandernistas do. There is really one choice for America in November: do we or do we not re-elect Donald Trump. If you think the answer to that question is "no" (and God pity you if you don't), then you have one choice, and that's Joe Biden.  No one gives a shit if you aren't happy that Biden is the "not Trump" candidate. That's your choice and staying at home or voting for Justin Amash is also a choice, one that will help re-elect Trump.
