We have grown so far away from democracy it isn't worth discussing...

Thomas Jefferson warned US that in order for it to have a chance it would require an informed electorate... We clearly don't have that with the right-leaning half the country that denies science, history, economics, current events, etc., etc...

I know that sounds what they gleefully call elitist, as if knowledge is a bad thing... Fine, I'd rather go down as someone who bothered with education than one who proudly disses it...

Either way, democracy ain't working right now...
