our political nerd class spent too much time learning how to do regressions and not nearly enough time learning about postmodernism www.politico.com/news/magazin...
bad luck for biden to run in an electoral cycle where "are you old" is the most important issue instead of in one of the cycles where email security procedures or accuracy of vietnam war medal citations was the most important issue in the country.

lawyers! lawyers are training to communicate in pretty much the polar opposite way that you actually need to communicate to voters. basic communication techniques like reptition, re-framing, analogy are all things that will make a judge mad at you if you do it in a legal filing

These are things I do in every brief I write.

Same here. Many lawyers write badly, but we are *trained* to use repetition, analogies, and storytelling, although training in storytelling has significantly increased over the last 20-30 years.

Right. And if you are doing a response, the *first* thing you do is reframe - judge, this is the real question you're answering here, and these are the facts that opposing counsel left out.
