While I appreciate the response, I - frankly- am a rando, and have not seen you respond to any of the people taking much more detailed and evidentiary disagreements with your post than I have offered
As it stands, I don't think this is a very good post, and will believe so until you prove otherwise

I don't always read Paul Krugman's blog, in part because it is often filled with "things you don't want to see written in a blog by Paul Krugman"

I regret being obsessed with WW2 as a kid
It left me with an enduring interest in the Navy and atp I can imagine no worse punishment

Personally if there were national security concerns related to noted serial sex trafficker and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein I would think the American people ought to know what those concerns are

Over the last three centuries basically every minority group has eventually assimilated into the overarching "American" identity
Previously, this meant "becoming white", and while I think that's a large degree of what's happening with Latinos rn, it doesn't explain other groups (namely Blacks)

"Senate Dems should fight, and they should center it on healthcare" was a pretty unpopular position a couple months ago, and even I was unsure if it was the right tact (though ultimately supportive)
Seems to have worked out pretty well though

I do wonder if the potential political impacts of a stock market crash are actually being somewhat underrated
Today's market is *significantly* different than it was just 5 or 10 years ago, with tons of young/poor retail investors, many of whom have a lot of wealth tied up in very precarious stocks

My capstone paper was on the late Wilson administration and in large part the country's turn to xenophobia and anti-immigration in the 1920s
Traditionally this is considered to have been a result of the war and Red Scare, which is certainly true, but after reading I find this graph rather striking!

Why is it that so many people think that liking one candidate means you have to start disliking the other?
Even when when I said "run Platner" prior to ~revelations~ at no point did I decide to start disliking Mills
