The Serious Election Day Thread

on average? Doubtful. Among the educated class? Maybe.

Ok give me the educated class at least 🤣

Trump has done far more than you have, Won the presidency twice. So I would say you are the moron!

“That’s the untempered version of our coming reconstruction.”

Thanks for your thoughts on that. I'm not sure you are 100% right on all of it, but you do make some good points.

For example, I don't agree that the Democratic Party's entire go to market model is Identity Politics and Wokeism. It is a significant part of it and I do think that is the part of the message that you've heard, but that's certainly not what has attracted me to Democratic candidates. And I disagree that the loud Left is any more deafening than the loud Right. I think a lot of that disconnect is due to the audio frequency that each person's ears are attuned to.

As I've said previously, I spent a little bit of time around Harris and I don't think buffoon is an accurate way to describe her at all. She's a pretty garden variety politician from my experience. I don't think Trump is a buffoon either FWIW

I do think it's interesting that you indicate that you believe that Democrats are lately mostly right on a lot of policies. And I do think Democrats need to do a better job of talking about those issues in ways that are more aspirational.

I use “buffoon” in the sense that neither of them have the chops to be POTUS.

Hard disagree on the share of voice of the loud Left. They’re deafening across the country and their message is amplified in all universities by those that have never done anything but amplify that signal.

This election is a clear pushback on Wokeism and identity politics. Couple that with the border nightmare they created and you have a rout.

It’s up to you if you want to help reshape the Dem party to get back to their moderate, Keynesian economics and good foreign policy chops. I’m doing my part on the GOP side to root out Trumpism but that role just got a lot harder.

My main focus these past 2.5 years has been on finding new antiviral drugs intended to avert future pandemics.

That's a BIG mountain to climb... good luck with that.

We will be on the cover of Science magazine early next year for finding the first small molecule blocking attachment of SARS-CoV-2 to the ACE2 receptor on human cells. It locks the SARS2 spike protein into its trimeric state, where one arm of it can't fold back to bind ACE2.

But come April 2025, we're unfunded.

That's awesome. Good luck.

Seriously, I think there should be a lot more research like this. I'm sure the pharmaceutical companies are doing a similar thing but it's not easy. A lot of trial and error but hopefully and educated guess for the trial.

I think you misdiagnose the takeaway on the election. There certainly is a pushback on those things, but I'm not sure it's the defining takeaway from the election. If the economic assessment of the electorate was positive, I think Harris would be President. I think both Brad and Goat have been nailing it with their take on what Harris should have been doing and what her prospects were given the hand she had to play.

You've already said that Democrats have been mostly right in terms of policy, especially economic ones, so I'm a little confused about "getting back" to their moderate policy chops.

And we'll have to "hard disagree" on the loudness. We have a large variety of institutions across the political spectrum and I don't find universities to be a substantially louder voice than other large institutions.

That is really terrible. I love Indiana. Even if I think you all are somewhat simple.l and childlike.

You’re not jaded. Stay that way.

I’ve raised over a mil in the last three years from Corp grants. For one product. Minimal effort. Pfizer. Gates. Foundations. There’s got to be Corp/foundation outlets for important research.

Thanks Chicago. You give really good compliments.

Prophylactic use? I don’t understand the use case.

You've already said that Democrats have been mostly right in terms of policy, especially economic ones, so I'm a little confused about "getting back" to their moderate policy chops.

They haven’t left the building on their policy but they lead with rhetoric and the rhetoric is woke identity politics. If you poll independent voters and moderate republicans that despise Trump, they’ll mostly agree that what’s distasteful about the modern Democratic Party is its messaging from the loud Left. Their border policy is just a nested piece of their play on identity politics and it’s snapped them.

And I’m sorry but I highly disagree on universities not amplifying the loud Left more than other institutions - especially if you define institutions as corporations. Corporations are abandoning Wokeism like delta-front property in New Orleans. Their studies found it’s a cancer and is yet another reason why I trust the market more than I’ll ever trust government and academia.

Edit: have you forgotten the debacle from the deans of MIT, Harvard etc?

Haven't forgotten anything. I definite institutions as institutions (a society or organization founded for a religious, educational, social, or similar purpose.) It's interesting that you are suggesting that institutions are just universities, corporations, and government. My goodness, there are quite a few more than that.

I don't doubt what you suggest about polling independents and moderate republicans who despise Trump, but it doesn't really prove what you've said previously in this thread. Why would you find it instructive that independents and Republicans are turned off by messaging from the far left? That seems like something you could just pick up from the definitions.
