Brahmin Left vs. Populist Right

The basic contours of the 2024 election are coming into view. The two sides might be loosely described as “Brahmin Left” and “Populist Right.” “Brahmin Left” is a term coined by economist Thomas Piketty and colleagues to characterize Western left parties increasingly bereft of working-class...

None of this should be surprising. Liberal journalist David Dayen points out, in a notably sober take on the situation:

The dominant economic story in the country during the Biden presidency is the spike in inflation. While the jobs numbers are prodigious, changes in employment by definition affect a smaller number of people than the price of everything, which affects everyone.
When inflation “goes away,” that doesn’t mean that every price reverts back to its previous level. For the most part, the rate of price increases just levels off. Anyone pissed off about prices at the grocery store is still going to be pissed off, because they’re still high relative to where they were in 2021….
The main prices that have fallen already are on gas and energy, but that has ended, in part because of the ongoing heat wave, which prevents refineries from running at full capacity and increases demand for air-conditioning. The positive trends on consumer sentiment are if anything going to go down in the near term, as the most publicly visible posted prices in the country rise….

I read that a crazy christian/anti-abortion activist asserted that pro-choice people "hate god."

Funny comment.

I think the pro-lifers hate women--and women are a helluva lot more real than "god." The irony of course is that the pro-life crowd
are the same people who virulently oppose any help for the less fortunate in life. They hate social spending. So they want to coerce/force
low-income women to have babies that they won't be able to raise properly, in many cases, and then dump on those kids in various ways for
the rest of their lives. Ah, the stink of hypocrisy.

Dude you need serious help. Your conjecture is getting out of hand. Of course I should expect such ignorance from an atheist.

our governance has failed us..not our form of governance. Best ever but we blew it by letting them federalize everything, which polarized everything.

I guess when you point to democracy as a pillar, that should be a big red flag that the USC and the Republic are not on your agenda.

Is Haley Hispanic all of the sudden?

This may have been answered already, but Haley is part Native American. I'm not sure why it is even being discussed along with her private life. It is the easiest way to make someone bitter and leave the party. The Republican party will do better with Haley in their corner than touching on topics so sensitive that it's hard to come back from. I hope it's more of Haley ginning up the discussion than some low life's who don't know how to hit her on policy.

This is basically the Republican agenda. It's all they do. They have no agenda for improving America save for giving more tax breaks to the rich and big corporations. Look at the GOP-led House: It did NOTHING last term---zero--except spend even more months investigating Hunter Biden in their cynical, venal effort to smear Biden.

Listen to this and tell me Trump isn't completely senile.....

"We are an institive (?) and a powerful death penalty."

WTF? It's actually funny--funny/scary--that people stand and listen to this man ramble nonsensically and then applaud.
"Did you hear that, Ethyl? We're an institive and a powerful death penalty! This is why we support him, ain't it? It's so true."

Bidens barely breathing dementia addled self telling anyone that Trump is incoherent is like an elephant telling a donkey that he's a "fat ass". I think ole "corn pop" the clearly fictional bully from Bidens youth (more likely what he had for breakfast) must have given Sloppy Joe too many fictional concussions. The man cannot even speak in complete sentences when reading from a teleprompter. What a "Dog face pony soldier". Its actually sad that the Dimwits parade a feckless, tired dementia patient out in public to be humiliated so they can continue to steal this country blind from behind the facade. Shameful and corrupt at every turn.

'Will you marry me?' Trump supporter trolls Nikki Haley who rejects his Marriage Proposal and tells him to 'get out of here' after he reveals who he is voting for at New Hampshire rally​


A cheeky Donald Trump supporters trolled Nikki Haley during a campaign stop in New Hampshire when he called out and asked her: 'Will you marry me?'

Haley, who is fighting for her spot on the GOP ticket in today's primary, was interrupted by a man in the crowd at the Artisan Hotel on Monday.

'Nikki! Will you marry me?' he shouted from the audience.

Haley, 52, appeared taken back before laughing and asking: 'Are you going to vote for me?'

Much to her dismay, the man jokingly offering his hand in marriage responded: 'I'm voting for Trump.'

As the audience began booing, Haley shot back: 'Oh. Get out of here.' She started waving goodbye to the man, before continuing her rally.

This comes after banning DailyMail.com reporters and photographers from all her events over reporting on alleged affairs.
