Oh, I think I misinferred where you were coming from. From context, I had thought you were advocating that we needed to <i>democracy harder</i>. On reflection it seems more likely you&#x27;re espousing the viewpoint that USG hasn&#x27;t been specified as a democracy, so people advocating to democracy harder are asking for nonsense.<p>In some sense that would put us closer to agreement, but from my perspective that viewpoint clings to a prescriptive model that is clearly irrelevant at this time. Democracy has become our <i>national religion</i>, and the mechanics of how the celebrities obtain office isn&#x27;t so important as the idea that no action is off limits to the court of public opinion, adjudicated by the media.
