Guys. Mandani just bulldozed the Democratic establishment. Walked into the White House, and hypnotized Donald Trump into a democratic socialist. The spell will wear off as Miller, Vought and others reacting in horror rush in to break the spell. But this is hilarious!

He bought Intel bonds after directing the government to acquire a stake in the company.

This reinforces my opinion that the key to getting broad electoral support is to concentrate on the problems foremost in the mind of voters, and the values that the candidate will apply to finding solutions. The electorate is overwhelmingly non-ideological.

The hidden axis: the left-right spectrum has a non-ideology problem
Most voters want a party that emphasizes cost of living issues and makes the world a better place. Few Americans think in solidly ideologically terms. "Moderates" are mostly non-ideological.

The long-term prospects for my country are poor because the level of constitutional treachery, massive inexcusable corruption, & horrifying criminality requires a response that will inevitably be interpreted by large segments of society as an attack on them, setting up years of escalating conflict
This is how military coups start
And it seems to me. That this problem starts to become a massive one for leaders. How can they be happy that their sailors and subordinates start to think they are working for a broken and corrupt organization and questioning whether every act is proper and a “real legitimate order”.
