You speak for many. Old Dem here who wants nothing to do with the Cultural Revolution. I know Berkeley professors who foresee the dunce cap for faculty whose commitment to social justice is judged wuestionable.

I'm an Independent. What's left of the sane Democrats, and I'm really not sure what that is because all leadership has failed the maibstream US during this crisis, panders to the radical part of its base. Center Democrats get dismissive form letters about social justice, and the warriors are going to push Old Joe around, using him as a stalking horse. He's given little sign otherwise. And who will be his vice president? Daily the so-called mainstream Democrats are getting on the guillotine wagon. The Republicans, interested in deregulation and lowering taxes for the rich, appear to have been mass anesthetized. Do they give a damn?I wish someone normal would run as a third party, but that won't happen.

Oh wait! Cheer up - Kanye is entering the race! Because we cant have one election without a SNL skit. If he actually runs How does it effect the votes? On another note - is it now acceptable to have a First Lady with a silicone ass and a sex tape on the internet? Wow.

How do "ratings" diverge from democracy. Both are the will of the people. The only issue with immediate reaction is one's knee get jerked a lot. But not to worry, government is incapable of reacting quickly enough to respond to "polling" or ratings.
