Why do all of the conservative traits cluster around the fucked up end of the spectrum? Racism, misogyny, homophobia, authoritarianism. All conservative traits. But, history is on our side!

The Republican effort to undermine the Biden administration makes it that much more likely that #Putin will win in #Ukraine. Putin is literally attacking the Western democratic way of life. We must see ourselves as one people in order to win this war.

Two things drive American politics: likeability and hate voting. If you like a politician, you’re likely to adopt her policy positions. If you identify with a political party, you’re likely to vote against a politician of the other party more than for one of your party. Which will win when pitted in the mind’s of the 74 million Trump voters?

We all wonder why @GSAEmily doesn’t just sign the papers to ascertain that #BidenHarris are the apparent winners of Election 2020. She is complying in advance with the desires of an authoritarian. She’s heard the messages of Trump and the GOP and is doing what they want. In the meantime, she is responsible for the thousands of deaths from #COVID19 by denying Biden vital information in the transition.

Is it me, or does Trump seem to be loopier, lieier, boastier than usual. I mean just listening to him at his superspreader rallies and calling into news shows and reading his tweets leaves you scratching your ass and wondering where the stink went, right? Well, I think I got a piece of the puzzle, right here. Narcissistic wound.

We’ve all encountered the Bernie Princesses and other folks form the far left who tell us that Biden or Clinton were just more of the establishment same and they would never give us the just and fair country that we were promised so we should all just… After that it is not clear, but what is clear that a false equivalency has been drawn between Obama, Clinton, and Biden and W and the Ol’ Pussy Grabber. It is a cynical nihilistic narcissism that states all one percenters are the same, so why bother.

And number three is going to surprise no one! As it turns out there is ample scientific evidence that political extremism whether on the right or left is pretty much the same person. They are driven by the same four psychological factors.

Our perceptions of the risks that each candidacy poses determines a lot about them. Biden runs as Obama 2.0 the tried and true candidate of yore bringing back normalcy. The nostalgia candidate if you will. Warren runs as the big structural change candidate with a plan for everything.
Which are seen as posing the higher risk? How will that effect the way we vote?

Okay, it’s a bit long in the tooth, but it’s worth it to figure out whose gonna win, right? My predictions have a history of being accurate. Stop laughing. I’m serious.
Anywho, I go through and discuss each of the top four candidates chances using behavioral economics decision making under uncertainty, specifically focused on how people react to perceived risk. If there were ever a risk election, brother this would be it. This is a high risk election.

How far has the press fallen into the news-tainment trap? Was Biden’s “war story” gaffe a lie, a sign of senility, or a common memory error? It was a common memory error. Why wasn’t it reported and defended as such?
