What’s this referring to? I googled but didn’t see anything.

This article came up in my feed, and being someone who is intrigued by MMT, I thought I should read it. I’ve read or heard criticisms of MMT before, and I like to have my beliefs challenged. Then as I’m reading the article, I’m like wtf, who wrote this? It must be a libertarian or right winger, but probably not an actual economist or expert.

A sweeping pro-democracy wish list. Maybe the writer didn’t understand the context that it’s not supposed to only be democrats who are interested in keeping the country (nominally) a democracy. That is really on most people’s wish lists imo. I mean obviously the GOP want as little democracy as possible but they are supposed to have to lie about that or face some scrutiny from “the paper of record” (lol).
Biden as an irresponsible dog owner is an interesting twist.
