Thanks for sharing, friend.
Yeahz, I don't have much to quibble with here. This was written for a very different audience than the based peeps here on SN
we will see what he does. I am indeed relieved that it wasn't the other -- verifiably worst schmucks -- but still, politicians are politicians

And I mean this is a good way. One of the many reasons I rarely talk politics or economics with people in my life is that they don't have interesting thoughts on the topics. At best they repeat what they have been fed from media. They haven't read or thought deeply about these things. If I'm gonna disagree with people I'd rather learn something from the discussion than feel like I'm talking to a NPC.
And I say that with love. Some days I wish I didn't think about these topics and cared less. Found them less interesting. Life would be simpler.

I'm curious what kind of wild different responses you got and where you posted them.
I imagine most of what we talk about here on SN would get shouted down on Reddit
