Among my emails today, one requested a packing of the Asheville City Council community meeting tomorrow. The subject matter will be sidewalks, those impervious groundcovers that get rid of Type 2 diabetes. How much fact-finding on the subject do you think council will accomplish in five hours?
Another email came from my friends at OFA, who are “putting together one of the most ambitious campaign programs in American political history.” They anticipate their GOTV program will cost over $50 million. Expenses include office space and salaries. Donations are strongly recommended by August 31.
If I must spell things out, I hate democracy because the race is not to the swift, but to the well-connected manipulator who can coerce the most little minds. By the way, nobody bothered to send me data and analysis on why East Asheville needs sidewalks or why Congress needs more Democrats.
