Now they are competing on dominance. Trump is playing the totalitarian playbook. We are bankrupt -- only the great man can fix it. Biden is saying we are collectively a great nation. I win when you win. Classic: the robber barons versus the New Deal.

Taxes are critical to this debate. What made America great in the fifties? Marginal tax rates above 80? Why? Because if you can take your winnings and park them in the Cayman Islands, all that matters is cheating. If you can't take it with you, the institution matters.

Biden, like GM in the fities, claims the mantle of institutional leadership. Trump claims to be the great man -- win with him or die with him. You have to be desparte to take that bet -- which is why he has to say America is losing, If you think you're dead, take the bet.

Putin thinks Trump is an idiot, controllable by the puppet master. Putin gets the dominance game and is a whole lot better at it. But Putin -- and Jack Welch who destroyed GE -- demonstrate the downside: Putin wins short term, and in the long run, Russia (and GE) are dead.

A lot of them, and I think is true of Vance and definitely true of the creepy Silicon Valley MAGA weirdos, have simply pickled their brains.

For Trump, everything -- his name, his integrity, his presidential policies -- is for sale. Christians get the same pitch as oil companies executives: vote for me because I will deliver. For executives, this is business as usual, for Christians, it shouldn't be.

Friends have been asking about my governor, Tim Walz. Two answers: this is what politics looks like when Democrats stop committing malpractice and a centrist becomes progressive when he cares about constitutents. Nothing radical about school lunches, gun safety -- or tampons.

My experiece has been with three groups of men: straight men who are often uncomfortable with public displays of affection, gay men who often are more demonstrative, and the Bill Clintons and Donald Trumps of the world. Where does Vance fit? x.com/jbveen/status/…

Great piece. And what Dems are lacking is a sensibile approach to the family. Neoliberal policies destroying good midlevel jobs are what got us here. Tradwives are not a substitute. nytimes.com/2024/08/19/opi…

This should not be a surprise. Harris-Walz also present a genderbending mix of prosecutorial authority and the coach who stands up for the vulnerable. newsweek.com/gender-divide-…

Discussions of American fertility get it wrong. 1) The US is in line with global patterns. 2) The US story is one of lower income women finally getting access to effective contraception. 3) The change among Latinas is leading the shift. cnn.com/2024/08/20/hea…

Democrats are guilty of malpractice. What do we never hear that Trump tariffs started the rise in inflation or that Biden dealt with inflation better than any other industrialized nation? nytimes.com/2024/10/24/opi…
