Just on the partisanship. Interesting article here. It's not partisan but it made me think.
America shows politics of a sort is a real threat to democracy - Michael Duffy
More at link.
I disagree with this.
We are actually doing the opposite.
Places like the south are seeing an influx people from other parts of the nation due to people finding cheaper places to live and job relocation. the internet has also added to the ideas people in isolated areas hear. The partisanship was a political tactic emerging from the Republican party seeking to separate out voting blocks. "You cant be a true Christain and vote for the Democratic people because they love the gays and want everyone to get abortions". They also demonized words like Liberal. They maligned the news as liberal relentlessly so that the corprations could start giving us slanted news in their favor.
It was a political thrust orchastrated to buy them a permenant majority.
It was coupled with a taking over the voting system so that they could make the results they wanted.
This election is a test of wether America can overcome these concerted efforts by the monied interests to own our goverment. I think we have a chance this time. If they "win" this election you better look for revolution in this country. I dont think the peopel will sit by and watch after the mess they have made of things.
