re: #20 Belafon
It’s sad that so many voted for him, but he got in because of a design in our electoral system that was supposed to keep people like him out, but that has been used by conservatives. It also required some help from a foreign country.
In some ways, what we’re having to deal with reminds me of a line from Doctor Who when he was dealing with the Silence in 1969. It’s not an invasion we’re repelling. They’re already here. It’s a revolution we’re having. And overthrowing the old guard is hard. But it has to be done.
True, true. He did have help both from the Russians and the outdated EC. I just find myself distressed that it was close enough to rig, ya know?
