2/ The system’s response to that is always, “Oh silly unsophisticated one, you know nothing about economics!” They use the idea that economics is a verifiable science as a kind of magical spell to keep people from questioning assumptions that otherwise we’d know are so wrong.

3/ For instance many of them call an economy where 1% control more wealth than the bottom 90%, tens of millions live in or near poverty & 40% of the people can’t afford a $400 unexpected expenditure a “good” economy. Good? No economy where children are hungry is a “good” economy.

Democrats tell people what will improve their condition. Republicans let them exert agency in their own lives - choice in education, reduced taxes so small business will be successful. Next Trump would have given more choice in medical plans.
