@blatham,
There are individuals and groups who weren’t elected that have an inordinate degree of sway in this country.
I consider them the ‘architects’ of public policy.
I know the US wasn’t really designed as a democracy, but even the semblance that we aspire to democratic representation is fading, IMO.
While we’re ticking off my list of fist-shaking irritants, why is the CIA/FBI cabal of shadowy unelected, unaccountable spies and assassins - roundly excoriated by lefties in the 60s and 70s — suddenly unimpeachable by the same group??
It’s insane.
I guess sometimes when I see you consistently attacking one party and consistently giving the other a complete pass on what they’re doing, it just makes me want to pull the curtain back.
We should find a way to change this completely broken country. It’s astonishing to see people I consider intelligent still taking part in this tribal sport that was set up to distract us.
