Oh, that wasn’t my intention. I disagree with Chicago School supply-side economics. I also think it’s fucking dumb that DNC leadership pointed at economic indicators that left out cost of food and rent and said “things are great!” Economics in the west has been seen as fairly monolithic so I am pretty strident in my refutation of that view. I’m also certain about the real-world pressures that lower class Americans have to face- rent and food are more expensive than ever, while wages are stagnant and benefits are slashed.
In a roundabout way, I’m trying to speak to your original comment: what voters see as similar between Trump and Sanders is that they want to change the economic policies that have left average Americans with less money.
