2. we see the "system" as different

As a dynamics / systems analyst - there are two *very* different states:

The "linear" or small/medium signal
This is the "system working but needs to be tweaked". You can throw traditional fixes, damp it, work with it, try to get it "back to normal" etc. Repair what trump has done, go back to the Obama era, etc.
To me that's the Biden view.


The "nonlinear" and large signal, instabilities, chaotic, etc
This is the system of something approaching the breaking point. Change *will* happen (climate change, health issues, global unrest and instability). This requires a not just working in the same old way - there is non-linear events happening /tipping points, etc. The tried and true approach is not going to work. Record climate events and cost. 60,000 dying from lack of HC. Orders of magnitude wealth disparity. Hyper sensitivity of the markets due to de-regulation etc.
To me that's the Sanders view.



If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
