i don't see this as conflicting with what I said. democracy is "rule by fools." the hope is that fools are sufficiently varied, uninformed and lazy enough that their delusions cancel one another out, allowing the estranged whispers of sensibility to flutter in through the void. unfortunately social media, information technology, nihilism and declining mean IQs are swatting the gnat of reason before it even has a chance to hatch.

I see the conflict. You view the politicians as proactive, and I view them as reactive.
