The greatest power of the electorate is…

I’ve had very little to say about tomorrow’s election—not just here, but anywhere. I’m not going to say much about it now either.

Disingenuity, blind loyalty, and inability to recognize that reasonable people can reach different conclusions from our own are rampant fires. Confirmation bias is gasoline on all of them.

The greatest power we have is not in voting for the rotten son-of-a-bitch we dislike less. It is in our influence over those with whom we interact directly every day. Whether our enemy is Eurasia or Eastasia, that doesn’t change.

And the fidelity and quality of that influence ought to be the recipients of the great majority of our effort and resources.
