The Sun-Times fantasizes about the awesome wonderfulness of Mayor Rahm—a thing that never existed. Ben riffs. Denali turns Ben’s attention to health care in the age of Trump. MAGA wants agency over their care. Meaning they want the freedom to take any old horse pill that any old grifter promotes. But they don’t care if they have the agency to pay for their medical bills. How is this populism? And what’s the point of voting Democratic if they run from tough fights? Denali explains it all and then fools Ben with a quote from the past. No 90s nostalgia here. Denali is political philosopher and strategist and great thinker.
