Funny thing, though, it's always the side that shares your values that's being realistic.
GP claims equal access to education is impossible, like FTL travel or perpetual motion. The political reality is that it's just something not enough people care enough about. Public opinion is a great deal more malleable than physics. We could care, and then it would stop being impossible. So it is not impossible at all.
- vinceguidry 11y agoI am the GP. I think you need to study geopolitics a bit more. These things are not unpredictable. You just have to think a little bigger than what you wish was. The current US election cycle is an excellent test of how far one person can influence the news cycle. Donald Trump has steam, but he's pandering to a base that can't elect him by itself and he's making too many enemies to be able to muscle his way through. Candidates who don't come up through the current political establishment all have the exact same handicap. Obama couldn't have gotten elected as an independent.
