It’s sad to see what excites our electorate

A politician falls out of a boat. The democratic discourse on the internet goes viral.

The democratic discourse on the mainstream media goes gleeful and wants to make flooding an election issue.

The equivalent democratic discourse during the years of the boom was not alone distinctly non-viral, but it gave gleeful support to the decisions that bankrupted the country and failed to make them an election issue.
