Yuck. Re douche bag discussion. Fwliw, I associate douchebagery with more of a goofy/effete disposition rather than bombastic a la Orange one. More of a B male persona. Open season on white guys.

e.g., Beto O’Rourke, douchebag.

I don’t think it’s going to be Social Democracy, not for very long.  I think we’re headed towards some bastardized version of Communism.  The Dems will be in charge, though.  Of that, I’m certain.

Maybe a better discussion is this, Neo:  what would be a better system? Are you arguing for direct democracy?

I’ve thought about it, for certain.  I understand the demographics and communications challenges that, 2.4 centuries ago necessitated the electoral college.  And I suppose I wouldn’t mind direct democracy, as long as it came with a system of initiatives, whereby non-felonious American citizens could vote on issues of importance.

But then I think about the intelligence of the average American, the desire of trial lawyers to see the stupidest, most easily-swayed potential jurors in the jury box and then I think “let’s just keep it the way it is.”
