    I want to feel optimistic about the midterms and relax a little, but after every traumatic disappointment since 2016 my ability to feel at ease has been crippled. No matter how badly the GOP screws up again and again, or how obvious it is that no sane human being should rely on them for any positive outcome, or how clearly the signs point towards Democratic victories, I will be acutely uncomfortable until this horror show ends. I've been made all too aware of America's capacity for stupidity.

      Indeed. If the Planter's Peanut or the farmers of the National Peanut Board told people to "Eat my nuts," the humorous advertising campaign would certainly drive up market demand by affecting preference. Nuts would be substituted for other healthy snacks and the demand curve would shift to the right. As a result of this rightward shift, a new equilibrium would be established leading to a higher price for nuts as well as a higher QUANTITY SUPPLIED of nuts. The MARKET SUPPLY has not changed but the higher prices and profit margins will incentivize more nut producers to enter the market.

Needless to say, politically savvy Republicans buried this story as soon as they could, but rest assured, to the extent that the GOP even has a coherent ideology these days, this is exactly what they want to do if they take power.

      I think one of the things that confuses (not really confuse, just can't think of a better word) me is the 5 years. The terms for various positions are 2, 4, or 6 years, so surely a multiple of one of those three would be better

    @5:20 correction. I think since their "Promise to America" is on one piece of paper, it's considered a leaflet. Pamphlets and brochures have more than one page. Which is honestly more of a dig to them.

      To be fair he's still never won a game of poker against a dog.
      Hell of a poker face but his waggly tail says he's bluffing.
      Oh Donald he's bluffed you again.
      MEEEELLL! THE DOGS BULLYING ME!!!!

      In the actual Dogs Playing Poker painting "A Friend In Need" one dog is slipping an Ace of Clubs to another dog under the table, using one of his hind paws. True story.
