Hot takes on the Democratic frontrunners

"No. That's impossible. Am I wrong?"

Nope: it was a trick question.

"Progressives are intensely interested in reducing the size & power of large entities which overpower the liberty of individuals"

Big business, in other words. Simple: make government stop protecting & catering to 'em. Otherwise: leave 'em be.

"we just disagree on what the primary threats are."

Actually, if you think on it, we aren't that far apart. You want corps and the like reduced in power and scope; so do I. Where we disagree: you want gov to regulate 'em; I want gov to stop -- as I say -- protecting & catering to 'em.

You'd monitor & micromanage 'em; I'd throw 'em into the wilderness to fend for themselves.

What we disagree on, then, is the proper role of American 'government'.
