    I think the problem is that she has no help.  I often want to punch these two hosts, but this is a pretty good podcast that stressed me the fuck out at not only how over her head she is, but how she's going to self-destruct.

    But we used to have guardrails to help the voter stay informed.

    I don't want to go way off topic, because this makes sense to me too, but can't we argue that those guardrails themselves were limitations to truth?  Less disruptive, but still stifling us by cutting off more radical ideas and theories.

    In other words, during the old days we were driven to the center by guardrails and now we are driven to the edges by the lack of guardrails.

    What is harming is us not necessarily the guardrails or lack thereof.  It's the continued social silo-ing of our population into the college educated and the un-educated.  There is no draft or service requirement, or more importantly, a healthy and vibrant public school system that is giving us exposure to each other and creating a national identify of understanding the "other".

  4. We have an unprecedented ability to get accurate information from various media and non-media sources.  We just have to be vigilant and critical in how we process that information.

    The blame lies with the voter.  Not 100%, but so much so that nothing else matters.

    That's democracy's fatal flaw.

    The left is banking on it working, the right is committed to finding an alternative.

    Stanford's admission standards makes it difficult for them to be consistently good at football.

    Stanford's past failure to commit to a strong football team has made it difficult. They've always been able to recruit o-linemen and tight ends and qbs and when they've committed to making a stop at Stanford as a set to the NFL they've been fine.  They're complacent about coaching and remain loyal to a fault to mediocrity in coaching.

    Stanford's the best all around university in the US.  They have very fluid admission standards, and they can pump their overall SAT average pretty easily.

    They fucked themselves by being shitty recently in football and basketball and not doing anything about it.

    I almost hope they do start hassling brown and Latino citizens in Texas to sway those who continue to vote in support of these assholes. Not really, but kinda?

    Yeah, no.
