Did I post the article about economics somewhere? Most of the 150 million who vote don’t vote based on a calculus of how well a candidate matches up with facts. They look at the price of cheese and how well their car is running and vote. Incumbents have an advantage because this country has been doing pretty well for a while now, so most people think it’s due to whoever is in. Plus if you’re in, it’s easier to say the other person is a risk. What Bernie and Warren are doing is trying to sell how their policies will improve the economy, get regular folks jobs and let them off the hook for worrying about getting cancer. That’s the most important thing to work on if you want progressives in office.
