(154,021 posts)But our press in general treats the readers like children and does not even attempt to explain this. Why most people, on both sides mind you, think in bumper stickers sayings. Regardless of who gets elected they soon learn the nitty gritty is different from telling voters back home about farts and unicorns. And in many cases, like my friend the distinguished gentleman from Texas, Mr Goemert, never get the nitty gritty. They are simply incapable.
But the people are angry. They vote for outsiders trying to recapture some good from the government. They are trying a peaceful revolution and recapture it from the oligarchs. If they decide to go the other route, out of nothing more to lose, all bets are off.
And as an aside...Oh goodie. Cooler weather...covering the Sanders rally tomorrow and god it was hot last time around. I was dying.
Tom has never been to a rally. So we are doing Bernie tomorrow.
