Those were your words, not mine.
Whether you are a Democrat or any other party member is kind of irrelevant; although it certainly is amusing.
Where? No one has stated anything. Everything has been a _direct_ response to your own words.
> I'm not sure your statement can be read any other way than "I don't like perspectives that disagree with my primed and preconceived beliefs"
You could have read the second half of the comment which explains why I think progressives are economically illiterate and an example of a non economically illiterate policy.
> For decades, professional American economists vote for the democratic party at a rate greatly exceeding the general population
This assumes that I'm not Democrat. Maybe it's partially at fault for not being clear about what progressive means, but again the rest of the comment would not sense with this assumption.
> there's also something to say about how people invoke the term "economics" in their own personal posts as some sort of grandstanding dog-whistle
A dog whistle for what?
>This assumes that I'm not Democrat.
No it doesn't. It's not even about you? English seems like your first language so I can't help but feel there's something else going on here.
You're just being a troll at this point. Goodbye.
Economists by and large tend to be academically and principally in support of many progressive positions so I'm not sure your statement can be read any other way than "I don't like perspectives that disagree with my primed and preconceived beliefs"
Which is an exceedingly common phenomena in a post-truth world. But it's quite obvious; just want to point that out to you.
For decades, professional American economists vote for the democratic party at a rate greatly exceeding the general population and profess support for ideological progressive positions that is also at a notable rate higher than the general population.
You know, there's also something to say about how people invoke the term "economics" in their own personal posts as some sort of grandstanding dog-whistle but we'd be here for hours.
