  • I would never let 16 year old me vote.

    25 is a solid voting age informed by life experience in the “real world” and a developed brain. Nobody in their late teens to mid 20s can vote with a grasp of reality and understanding of the actual problems that plague society. There is too much optimism and idealistic intentions at those ages. Progress is a slow march against an established defense. Progress, no matter the speed, gains more than attempting brute force attacks against a greater dying populous fervent in their position in opposition.

    With a declining birth rate, slow and steady wins the race; or maybe Idiocracy was a documentary and WALL-E is a hopeful outcome of Surrogates.





  • You understand what a centrist is, however the meta perception in online America is that a centrist is a right-winger in disguise.

    News has determined decades ago that they get more attention by being entertaining. Dry factual news and clearly delineated opinion pieces don’t get the views/clicks, and by extension money, so it is unsustainable. It still exists, but it isn’t prevalent.
