Democracy Gone Astray

Democracy, being a human construct, needs to be thought of as directionality rather than an object. As such, to understand it requires not so much a description of existing structures and/or other related phenomena but a declaration of intentionality.
This blog aims at creating labeled lists of published infringements of such intentionality, of points in time where democracy strays from its intended directionality. In addition to outright infringements, this blog also collects important contemporary information and/or discussions that impact our socio-political landscape.

All the posts here were published in the electronic media – main-stream as well as fringe, and maintain links to the original texts.

[NOTE: Due to changes I haven't caught on time in the blogging software, all of the 'Original Article' links were nullified between September 11, 2012 and December 11, 2012. My apologies.]

Sen. John Fetterman Mercilessly Mocks Republicans With Scathing 1-Line

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) ripped some Republicans in Congress when Stephen Colbert questioned him on his “excellent meme game” during Wednesday’s broadcast of “The Late Show.”

Colbert asked Fetterman if it was awkward seeing those people he’s “put up a devastating meme about” around the Capitol.

“You all should need to know that America is not sending their best and brightest to Washington, D.C.,” replied Fetterman.

“Like, sometimes you literally just can’t believe these people are making the decisions that are determining the government here. It’s actually scary, too,” he continued, noting how the federal government came this close to shutting down thanks to a handful of Republicans.

He added, “You have some very less gifted kinds of people there that are willing to shut down the government just to score points on Fox.”
