Passed an old guy sitting on the side of the road with a lawn chair today, he was holding a pool skimmer with cardboard attached at the end to block a flock cam

  I'm sure my politics are very different than that man's, but at least we agree on the fact that Flock fucking sucks.

    Despite differences in political beliefs you probably have more in common with this man than any of the politicians that claim to care about your or your values.

      This is widely true if you look at popular support for issues that politicians refuse to implement or even address. That said, the trick is getting most people to actually recognize and admit that. As soon as some people sense you're "on the other team", their brain shuts down and they refuse to acknowledge any common ground with you. Not everyone, of course, but more than enough that it has led to the extreme political polarization we see today.

      The wonder of modern representative democracies is the ability for people unlike me to extract progress for my objectives. I don’t require cos(them, me) = 1. I only require my objectives to progress more than they would under the alternatives.

  Well that is just art and quite the signal.
