You’re a Democrat. was looking for more reassurance that she wasn’t going to go along with any aggressively anti-common sense ideas coming out of the woke virus, but that’s certainly a problem if she (Harris) loses. So that’s probably the main reason.”
He continued, “And part of that virus of the mind is progressophobia, which is Steven Pinker’s term for what economists say about America today, even when things are actually good. It refers to the liberal fear of admitting that we don’t need an economy with 4 percent unemployment and $85,000 GDP per capita to be great again. That’s wonderful. And certainly the economy is another big issue for voters on Christmas Eve, and they think it’s a terrible thing when in fact the economy is bigger and better than ever. . ”

Yeah, that would have been very helpful, but remember, ‘I’m not Trump’ is still a very big reason. ”
