I guess with the election I assumed you were referring to the argument that politicians are making stat driven arguments.

And that those arguments don't hold up with the marginalized population.

My thought is that the government should make data-driven policies and not anecdotal ones.

making a policy based on data always creates losers -- if you're not careful, big losers. understanding ppl is key.

true, message is important. But using anecdotes and populism also leads to tyranny.

using data leads to tyranny of the majority. No silver bullet.

only if you treat data like a zero-sum gain and don't apply statistical reason. Populism is the real tool of the tyrant.

not all populism is alike.
