There are two political universes: The first is the parties, the pundits, the money, the polls, the debates, and the media. I call it the political /media industrial complex. 1/1
The second is the American people, the voters, those who Thomas Jefferson referred to as “the only safe repository of power.” 1/2
In ‘20 as in’16, the first ate the second one alive. One of the most important activities on earth has been reduced to a carnival show, overseen by unscrupulous people who couldn’t care less. I hope at least some of them are using this time to think about what they’ve done again.
