88. This is the problem with identity politics

It softens the minds of the followers until they support anything the suit does.

The argument that supporting a proxy who represents nothing more than prevailing wind is better than supporting one's values candidate in the face of an opposing but equally substantive set of counter values, is a specious one. In the laboratory of democracy we can hold those values up, and even if one loses to to the other, eventually good values will out. When your system becomes almost completely relativisitic you have no gauge of what has been learned...indeed, the point is that nothing is supposed to be learned. You've lost the crucible in which democracy is formed. And more pernicious, you have allowed the one true value behind this model to hide behind an ever-shifting curtain of distraction. When the proxy is motivated solely by what will put them in power, power is revealed as the only value left on the stage. And I do not care how beneficient the actor presently on stage may be, the understudy waits in the wings, and the backers of the play are counting money in the dark.
