Subject: RE: BS: Geraldine Ferraro on Racism
I hope, LH, looking down on us poor mortals from your ivory tower, that you will eventually realize, in the midst of your cliche pop psychology, that this election--even the primary season-- is actually not only significant, but poses a clear choice. One candidate believes in scorched earth--the Goetterdaemmerung approach to politics, as it were. In case you are wondering, that candidate is Hillary.   And the other is in fact trying to unite both the Democrats and the US.

And if you do realize this, that you would acknowledge it. Sooner rather than later. Admittedly you are not a US voter, but I assure you the election is neither a war game nor a video game--neither a war nor a game--which it sometimes appears you think it is. And the vast majority of the commentators on Mudcat realize this. If you are using it just as a vehicle of intellectual dominance--or just to kill time-- you are in the distinct minority.

The irony is that the policy positions of the two candidates are remarkably similar. But the attitudes of the two are worlds apart.

Your analysis sometimes veers dangerously close to moral relativism--for which the Left is constantly pilloried by WSJ editorialists, etc. Don't tell me they have a point.
