1. A bit of a meta question, why does the Democratic Party seem to make the same type of mistakes and is it structural?

2. D Candidates appear to become more popular after losing and seeming more authentic. Do you agree and why do you “hold back”.

3. Why is D messaging so limp-noodle?

They do. I knew one who served for 10-15 years after joining in his 40s

I agree but practically, how do you do that?

Restrict potash exports.

I feel like this was a plot point of one of Silicon Valley’s episodes. Except Silicon Valley was a comedy, not a documentary…

2nd A and private healthcare are quasi-religious beliefs though. They defy any reason. Same as access to cheap stuff. Unless they manage to change that, I don’t see much resilience on the horizon.

If you need to escalate:
4) Curtail potash exports.
5) curtail other critical mineral exports.
6) restrict passage of trucks to Alaska.
