i want a political journal that ignores all polls and questions of “electability” (these would be banned topics) and looks solely at the policy proposals, voting records, influence networks, and funding sources for politicians.

What follows is my read of the situation with uneducated white Trump voters, as an ivy-educated tech worker who has lived in NYC for the past decade. (I say this so you know to take everything below for the very little it's worth.)

I peaked in 1996 when I was accepted into the MFA program of The School of the Art Institute of Chicago through the Fiber Department who awarded me a full tuition scholarship. It's been down hill even since.

if your religion teaches that the world in its present form is passing away, that our hope should only be for things of the next life, then your religion has zero business governing the present. Retire to a monastery, say your prayers, and get your pessimistic brutality out of our politics.
