Interesting times. For a moment there economic and social attitudes sorted into the parties. The left conservatives like Jennings Bryan were sucked into the black hole of racial hatred and came out converted to economic conservatism as the last open path towards de facto segregation. And then the left got taken over by the Brahmins (to steal a term from Piketty) and there was no one on the economic left. Interesting to see what happens over the next 10-20 years as things reshuffle to fill a few different vaccuums!

I'm confused. I don't even get what point you're trying to make about Vance, or anyone else. Apparently, he's bad because he's Trump's VP candidate, and what kind of yahoo would do THAT? It seems to me you are having to go deep into the weeds to find anything bad to say about the man.

If you have to work that hard at it, then maybe it's not worth the trouble. What are you trying to accomplish?
