Donna Brazile has more than paid her dues in the Democratic Party

65. Well. I disagree to a point

Politics has always been abrasive. Voltaire used to write pamphlets filled with stinging, mocking criticism for instance. In the USA, There were people who despised everyone from Washington to FDR and beyond and there was no respect.

BUt what’s happened is everyone now has a platform for their opinion, and it’s easier to be overwhelmed by trends and trolls. On the other hand, Politics was also without diversity, and the idea of elder statesmen was very real. Structured manners have gone by the wayside to a large degree. We aren’t going to see a return of grave, dignified punditry when so many voices are being heard that are new to the mainstream. In fact, who the “mainstream” represents is changing. I’m very curious what the generation after the millennials are going to do

Humans develop manners to get along. Even with the internet developed them fairly quickly, although trollery developed just as fast.

Brazile, well, all the experts I’ve read are atrocious writing, and thus far not fact filled. That doesn’t mean the rest of the book is without merit. I’m not planning in reading it because of the writing. I don’t listen to talk radio or watch TV for news, all the substantial political information I get is through reading. Donna Brazile is a experienced political scrapper, and something doesn’t add up to me between what she’s says is in the book and what is in the book. Her ghost writer was terrible.
