Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

2016: The Story

Jimmy Carter says we are no longer a democracy but an oligarchy.

Vox notes that this true.

Rick Perlstein says that the media won't cover it.  Probably because it's mostly a GOP phenomenon, because you have a handful of Sugar Daddies bankrolling these candidates beyond their ability to sustain electoral numbers.  Bernie Sanders can pack an auditorium and get small donors.  Rick Santorum just needs Foster Friess.
