    I used to agree that people should be able to vote directly on issues. Not sure where I land anymore. We seem way more vulnerable to propaganda than one would have expected.

    If the status quo somehow carries on for another decade I wouldn’t be surprised if the 20% to 30% of extremist nuts becomes 50% or higher.

    Wish I had a solution.

      Unfortunately, all the problems that exist in the population also exist for legislators. Turns out they are extremely vulnerable as well!
