i disagree... if you get distracted by the Devil he is winnning

the time you spend thinking about this punch and judy show is time you aren't using to think about how to actually keep them from influencing your existence

and i don't think it is expected that being no part of bullshit is going to come cheap

if you care that much about your shiny car and your fancy house you don't really care about the Lord

Fair, but you have yet to establish that voting, or taking time to make an informed vote can be accurately defined as being "distracted by the devil."

There is definitely an opportunity cost to taking that time, as you mentioned, but the same can be said of ANYTHING we do with our time. The time we are thinking about what we will eat for dinner is also time we aren't thinking about how to keep those in civil office from influencing our lives, too. Doesn't mean it's not time we either need or ought to spend.

Sincerely, someone with neither a shiny car or a fancy house.

the threat they pose is the thing that gives them attention... and the solutions are usually fairly simple - they are cheapskates, and rob the herd where it is thickest

also, they have so much voting intelligence going on these days that it's only if you are one of those "battleground" people that you even have a real influence

democracy is a scam the purpose of which is to misdirect the attention of people from the bigger plot they are running
