Brent, If this really was a democracy and not an effective oligarchy, your point would have some intellectual merit. https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-echochambers-27074746 It doesn't and this fact makes me the "cynical and false modesty" attribute you declaim, just like the street criminals you support, who say, "They made me a criminal!" I bet you support Defund The Police, correct? Thus, your run to Virtue Signaling doesn't work, for the same reason that voodoo only works upon those who believe in voodoo. The DNC made me a non-democrat voter! Tis' true.

It may not, but like all of our ancestors. I will lean forward with hope, perhaps hope over experience? If I am wrong, I am wrong, and have been wrong many times. So there. I will continue peddling the woo, if I think it is interesting and helpful, intellectually stimulating, exciting, yadda yadda. On politics (John's favorite topic) we now have this just out today: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/08/24/afghanistan-woes-sink-bidens-approval-41-usa-today-suffolk-poll/8244854002/ If politics is a popularity contest (rather than a bribe fest) this indicates that the choices of Joe + the DNC are mitigating against them, if the USAToday/Suffolk U poll is right? Afghanistan + Plague + Inflation. Could be a short-term dive, could be a long term feature? Politics is the job running a democracy. Something your snide cynicism and false modesty you brag about will never comprehend. Brent -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
