    Obama's speech was a stirring call to democratic citizenship -- but maybe too high minded?https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/obama-dnc-speech-biden/ …

        Obviously you had a problem thinking of something to criticize. Maybe you’ll come up with something not as ridiculous.

        This feels like a high-minded take about high-mindedness.

        Jeet - I love ya man, but we are *not* being asked enough to be citizens of a democratic republic. It takes hard work and a desire of being well informed. Most of us prefer the lazy pleasure of consuming the bonbons of confirmation bias media or trash. To our detriment.
