It would be lovely if the race became right-libertarianism vs democratic socialism – if only because there would kind of be a common basis for the conversation, i.e. that politics is about economics, and that it should have some basis in reality.
I don’t see it happening, though. Right-libertarianism is just too honest and clearly bad for most people. I think we’ll see a new flavor of right-wing populism in stead.
