Oh. You must mean your "Your political position is easily understood: Anything anti-Dem is good for you." You seem to be yet another one of those folk for whom there is only thesis, antithesis and (perhaps…) synthesis. That's very convenient, for academics — who just argue with each other.
(Who -in their right mind- would give such any say in society? I mean, besides Communists and Socialists and American Progressives -who used to call themselves Democrats? )
But, on the contrary, any Dem who comes close to agreeing with me on principle and makes an honest attempt to accommodate policy to such has my tacit support!
The idea, which you seem rather fond of… that I am but a party hack, is quite offensive. But what else have you to dispute with me about? No knowledge, certainly!
Do I tell you about Estonian politics? (I could spend a half-hour with Google… But then I'd only be doing what you do.) I understand U.S. politics -it's history and its perils- a little better than you do, ersi.
But you grew up with a one-party system; so, our experiences are quite different. How are you liking your new-found "freedom"?
If it's any consolation, Howie thinks Scotland has the best and most democratic (…that's the sine qua non, for him; for me -and likely for you?- liberty is, no?) system.
One must have a system, you know?
