General Discussion

If people behaved this way, we would lose even more elections. We cannot afford this sort of indulgence right now.

I vote Democratic every single election without fail. If my server came up to me with "Did you hear about the latest articles from Meidas Touch?" I'd be halfway out the restaurant before that sentence got finished.

People know what's going on in this country. If not the details, they certainly know the contours. No amount of hectoring is going to magically change their minds, like the end of an 80s movie where someone takes a stand on stage and the skeptical audience begins a slow clap.

I feel like I should change my signature because I say it so often. "Has anyone ever actually met other people?"

What people need to accept as a reality is that people do know what's going on. And they approve. After the past four months, Trump is still at 45% right now.

They know.

Treating everyone as ignorati who are desperately waiting to be touched by our personal enlightenment is exactly the kind of posture that turns people away.
