This is an excellent piece from Joseph Stiglitz.

Everyone should read it.

    But he’s better in some way than PP.

    FIFY, because clearly not in every way. In many ways, as evidenced here, he sucks just as much.

    The issue is that now we’re stuck in the same cycle again of someone who’s going to make thing measurably worse for the average person, while driving the overtone window further right, and thus further drive the rise of the far right. Voting for the lesser evil is how we got to here. The system works as expected.

      Ya. I don’t disagree. The system has been broken by foreign owned media, social media, and late stage capitalism.
