[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The "nothing will change" and "why bother voting?" come from people who fall into groups:

Group 1: They don't really understand how government works and they don't know much history. They are just one person. They feel helpless and frustrated.

Group 2: They want the Republicans to win so they want to persuade you not to vote. Some are burn-it-down revolutionaries who think that if the Democratic party crashes and burns, a better party can replace it. Nope. If the Democratic party crashes and burns, we will sink so deeply into a Christian fascist state, that it may take decades to get out.

I guess everyone needs ask themselves if they want to live in a democratic country and that we self-govern.

[b]Democracy [/b](rule by the people) means that the people have to do the work, it means compromise, and [b]it's slow-moving and boring[/b].

Autocracy is SWIFT and exciting and [b]thrilling, quick and satisfying[/b] ([b]if [/b]the authoritarian does what you want). Autocrats dispense with rules and due process and GET THINGS DONE NOW.

I love Teri Kanefield. She’s so sensible and so correct. Functioning government is boring and slow and more than a little bit tedious. For a group of people who aren’t well educated and have sucked back enough reality TV and other stupid entertainment, what the fascist GOP offers is more exciting. [/quote]
