>while failing miserably to focus the election of issues that actually matter They failed? They decide what they should focus on, or should you decide for them? Who gave you the judge position? Care to take any efforts into claiming that judge position? Why should I or they grant you that? They, or I, should change our ways because you don't like it? What argument you have to claim that people didn't focus on what they should have in voting for Trump? I see that as a supremacist statement. May be he would have won with bigger margin, if they had really paid attention to what was going on. >This is only really true if you frame "democracy" as being whatever America has been, at any given time. The extent to which American security and prosperity have anything to do with democracy is debatable. :s/democracy/utopia You get the idea. No description of utopia other than in the utopia Hillary was president. Well, I reject the thought, as no argument was given. I quite like America and would rather live here than any place else. All are free to leave America if they don't like it. If you propose changing America, you wish alone is not going to cut it, put up an argument. I am quite aware of Lawrence's work, and have supported/appreciated it. Above comments were a response to that article, not an attack on Lawrence. I am sure he can defend himself quite well, if he happen to read it.
