The true canary in the coal mine this election cycle is how fast those under 40 are moving away from all the cable stations (including Fox) and going to certain YouTube broadcasters like Rogan, DeFranco, Tim Pool, Dore and Saagar and Ball. And most of those named above are Left of center and criticizing the Left for dishonesty.
You will hear the term Radical Centrist more and more in the future, as these kids are socially liberal and fiscally conservative. Both parties are going to have to come to grips with a new dynamic. More working class initiatives (they are favorably inclined towards Trump on trade but are more Medicare for all or something similar) and ‘get the government out of my life on social issues’.
The biggest opportunity for our side is to have a program for health insurance that combines Major Medical insurance (not Obamacare cover everything), health savings accounts that the government will subsidize for the poor, guaranteed acceptance, (which could be done by decoupling the individual from the corporation) and starting the HSA at birth. We can kill government-run approaches this way.
Steal the health insurance issue from the Left and you win their hearts and minds.
We’ll have to give some on climate change, and that could be combined with bringing home manufacturing and seeding science grants for basic research.
And finally, change the balance of power away from Wall Street when it comes to corporate decision-making.
Does not compute. You cannot be these things at the same time. If you're socially leftist, you MUST favor profligate spending, you cannot be fiscally austere. Social leftism is extraordinarily expensive.
