re: #126 Unshaken Defiance

Tell me if I’m crazy. That lightning game where AOC showed how cooked campaign influence is? She may have sealed an unfortunate political fate. Now the party machine powers that live on that corruption on the left and right will ally against her like never before.

Oh, I doubt it. We’ll have another round of reform when the next Democratic president has both houses - hopefully in 2020 - and then both machines will spend the next 50 years corrupting those reforms as they have the post Watergate reforms. That is the real cycle in American politics.

If in the meantime we get marginal rates and capital gains rates back to where they belong (70% & 70% respectively), I’d really count it as a win and get NASA going to get the eggs out of the one basket they’re stuck in.
