You mean the last 50 or so years of an unspoken tradition we have since 1968 ? For it has now always been so like this.
Cool. So we can save billions by scrapping the system of primary elections and acknowledge that the nominees are chosen by the Parties, like always.
after the Grab Them by the Pussy video from Access Hollywood was leaked / revealed for all the world to see and hear. To be forced to choose between two choices they do not feel align with their values or interests.
Satisfaction and Unsatisfaction is not the only way to measure a world. That is our existential struggle to borrow some Pascal and Kierkegaard … we are more than our hunger and delight.
