The Supply-Side Progressive Candidate

Trying to have it both ways.

I’ll have a few things to say about the Democratic National Convention soon. But I’m not going to comment on it night-by-night. I’ll let it sum up and review it later to see if anything really important was done or said, over and above the pageantry (though some of the pageantry is mildly interesting in its own right).

The only thing I can conclude so far is that this is not Chicago in 1968. Demonstrations by disgruntled far-leftists have been a bust and haven’t even made the news. Will Rogers used to quip about not being a member of any organized political party because he was a Democrat. Well, for the past couple of months, the Democrats have acted like a pretty organized political party. Don’t worry, it won’t last.

In the meantime, I’m going to catch up on something more substantive than the stage-managed rally in Chicago this week: Kamala Harris’s big policy speech from last week, which is almost, but not quite, as bad as I expected.
