Remain calm after he completely trashes the very democracy he constantly talks up while trashing those he thinks are anti-democracy?

Ok.

Well matrix, I know that you think you have a gotcha.

But you misunderstand me completely.

Have you ever read Plato’s Republic?

I am saying nothing more than he said - with a more egalitarian bent than him - and honestly referring to the very impetus that caused the founding fathers to create the electoral college.

The difference between my views, and conservatives like you is that I believe everyone should start fairly and have the same chances. I don’t discriminate based on race, religion or wealth.

I discriminate based on qualification for a job.

If you can’t do algebra, you clearly can’t talk economics sensibly.

Or science.

If you don’t know history, what hope do you have of understanding policy?

If you can’t make two coherent sentences abut what it is you are so fired up about, what business do you have getting fired up.

Now I know that reading what I am writing consistently is beyond you. You will fixate on phrases out of context. That’s fine.

But I have a simple question. If you would not trust these people to pass 5th grade, why would you trust them with the future of a nation?
