I’m a biostatisitcian who has taught several infectious disease epidemiology classes, and my hick-ass family doesn’t treat me like I know what I’m talking about.
Even my actually libertarian parents are voting for RFK Jr. RFK Jr. led the charge of anti vaxxing in Somoa during a measles outbreak. 63 children died. He went into black communties during covid and compared the RNA vaccine to the Tuskeegee experiments. Fuck antivaxxers and fuck RFK.
I will immediately end the Federal backing of student loans by asking Congress to make all current loans interest-free, while simultaneously ending all future government-guaranteed loans.
I would then make the discharge of interest revenue neutral by requiring the Department of Defense to cut costs by closing overseas bases and installations and bringing our troops home, instead of engaging in expensive nation-building and peacekeeping missions abroad. It is only right that the DoD bear part of the cost, as mounting debt is as big a threat to our security as any foreign enemy,
Finally, I would allow students to stabilize their financial situations by allowing student loan debt to be dischargeable in bankruptcy just like any other loan. I want a well-educated populace that can compete with the minds of any other nation, but not at the cost of our nation’s financial and retirement security.
I mean, I agree with the second one (and massive cuts to the DoD and the staggering amount of wastr there; not so much the focus on foreign bases), but I hope there’s a LOT more stuff than that.
You’re right, but consider that virtually all forms of media have been working overtime to reduce average attention spans to the narrowest possible window over the past 20-30 years. This can make it much more difficult for the informed messages to register before that next notification fires off.
Person who has spent 20+ years studying viruses and how they effect the human body: “Vaccines are effective and safe.”
Random politician with very little science or medical education: “Vaccines are bad because <equally ignorant Podcaster> say they are.”
Republican voter: “I agree with the idiot politician.”

There is, you can find it in his website
Context is the left’s biggest weakness and the lack of it is the alt-rights greatest strength.
It’s easy to be short, quippy, and loud and much harder to be informed and detailed.
