Theoretically, it would mean, in the case of politics, putting my attention on the potential of the Democrats rather than the incompetence of the Republicans. Experientially, it means nothing at all to me. So how do you square it with your frequent fulminations about the Republicans? Seems to me the attention that's been put on their sins has had the effect of diminishing them, rather than making them grow.
