Quote from: crazy canuck on Today at 01:31:55 PMThis might be entirely wrong, but there seems to be a similarity with Canadian polling. About a third of our population is always going to be Conservative supporters, independent of the policies of the party. So I am not sure it is correct to assume everyone carefully considers the positions of each of the options and then bases their vote on that analysis. Quite the opposite, if the polling numbers are accurate.

I've long ago come to the conclusion that a third of humanity are conservative/authoritarian, another third don't really care (as evident by their non-voting) and only a third are really liberal/left-leaning.

Yes, that sounds correct.

The Minsky Moment

Quote from: grumbler on Today at 03:06:04 PMA Federal judge has dismissed the charges against Comey and James on the grounds that Hallian was illegally appointed.

That's the kindest way to dispose of those cases.
We have, accordingly, always had plenty of excellent lawyers, though we often had to do without even tolerable administrators, and seen destined to endure the inconvenience of hereafter doing without any constructive statesmen at all.
--Woodrow Wilson

On the one hand, the ineptitude is amusing and to some extent reassuring.  On the other hand, the chilling effect is chilling.  I'm sure no one wants to be subjected even to such best case scenario for them, because it can still be life-altering.
