You are the American electorate. Some of them are, as you say, not so well informed. I actually place myself in that category. Others are very well informed indeed. But whether you are one or the other is unknowable at best. Inform yourself all you like, you have to face the possibility that you could still be wrong. And others need to face the idea that you could be right.

And it's true that the great majority don't know and don't care, but you do indeed make it sound like you know what's best for them, and they should listen only to you. As I've tried to remind others, it's how you say it that comes across.

To be fair it's not Mookie in particular, but rather a school of thought that pervades Dem party thinking.

Group mentality also pervades the Right. But I only speak to individuals.

In short, birds of a feather flock together.

Actually I've used that comparison when discussing certain pundits: "He uses a shotgun to snipe at people."

That does certainly fit what I ment to sya better than what I actually posted. 11 and a half hours at work tend to do that to my allready questionably useful brain.

I don't deny that but the Gop does tend to refrain from belittling the people who vote them into office. Dems would be well advised to do the same.
