You say liberal elite, I say well educated

Not me…

I know. That is what I said.

Not the same at all.

You have very little information and you vote on issues that affect the nation.

That is a low information voter; a fact.

Flyover/backward hicks is a generality. Not even close to being a fact.

Uh huh. Keep saying that.

Oh, and this is a definition. Definitions are not propositions.

Fact vs. generalizations.

That is the dividing line between liberals and conservatives.

And thank you for your “approval” to speak: yet another dividing line between liberals and conservatives. :roll_eyes:

A supermajority of economists are technocrats, mix up descriptive and prescriptive statements, and inject value-laden assumptions into what they say. This tendency is most strongly pronounced among the economists who are free market activists (a much more appropriate phrase than “free market economist”).

Conservatives can’t be elitist… who doesn’t know that :joy::joy:

The sarcasm I used is used by all types of partisans.

So, let’s cut to the chase: word salad.

So you opine. I think AOC and Bernie are doing a fantastic job of showing just how wrong you are. :wink:

That’s what technocrats would say.

The actions of AOC and Sanders do not negate the fact of free market economists mix up positive and normative statements quite frequently.

So you say.

Thought precedes action.

What of it? You think that changes what I have to say?

Did you miss the point?..

I’m sure you were making a point, but it’s very unclear as to what that point is from “thought precedes action”.

I can understand your confusion if you read it as “though” rather than thought.

I read it as “thought”. It’s notclear what your point is.

Will Bernie find his Stalin or AOC find her Yezhov…they all seem to aspire to become hors d’œuvres for the Proletariat they pander to.

If you refer to Atlas Shrugged, the left, the laughable socialists, progressives , i.e. Cortez, Sanders, etc all support government choosing winners and of course most of their choices are losers. They all support we can spend you money better than you, they all support we know bette than you.
They are at the people and the dems want the government that Ayn Rand writes about.

And not 1 link to support your opinion.

Not a big surprise as you mix up your opinion with no facts.

You should write

Because you wrote bovine fexes only proves it smells it certainly doesn’t prove that it is fact.

I used the term “supermajority” to express how large a fraction it is.

I’m so so sorry for not providing you with a doctoral citation.

I’m not going to say it’s my “opinion” because too often that word means something like a subjective claim. I’ve been seeing for morevthan ten years. It’s true.

It’s called the fact-value dichotomy.

And cool your jets. You act like you’re implicated by the claim.
