Doesn't that depend what you want out of a candidate, someone to accelerate the status quo, or a forest fire? Nearly half the voting population voted for forest fire wrecking ball, on purpose.
- krapp 6y agoOk, fair enough. Just wanting to watch the world burn would be the exception. Although I don't consider that to be legitimate participation in the political process, so much as an act of sabotage.
- basch 6y ago20% of the population trying to burn up .5% of the population, with collateral damage, is not the same thing as self sabotage. There's a difference between burning your own neighborhood down, and burning Wall Street / Washington / Hollywood / Silicon Valley down. Lighting a fire doesn't affect everyone equally, it burns up who has the most wood. It's an attack proportional to inequality, not a uniform one.
- mreome 6y agoBut what should legitimate participation look like for a group who feels that the political process itself has failed them?
