Listen, I don’t actually think this works as electoral propaganda: it’s at least 63% too wonky for that. The narrative they build runs directly counter to too many story lines that are too well financed and too well entrenched, both at home and abroad.

Still: what they’re saying is true, damn it, and that has to count for something.
