You must be slipping.
Given that how awful the status quo is and how the interests at the top protect themselves and how big a problem that is is a recurring theme that I touch on, I have to wonder if you're perhaps mistaking me for another poster or have perhaps taken leave of your senses?
I hope you're not mistaking frequent disagreement as being a sign of particularly large political differences.
You "touch on" things ever so gently and apologetically, in what few moments you're not cheering the system as the best that ever was.
I gently touched on the the Senate by apologetically calling it the thing that enables and sustains almost all other political problems.
I think you're mistaking our disagreements for large political differences. I share your assessment for what is wrong a good deal of the time. I believe you're poor at approaching many issues in even a farce of a reasonable and/or well-thought-out way though. This is why, save for a handful of genuine difference issues, most of our disagreements are over process.
If you want to keep asserting strawmen of my statements and positions, I suppose this could be a new subject for disagreement. It doesn't seem particularly on-topic though.
