Cugel the Clever posted:The Dems have been getting out and saying more explicitly that democracy is at risk, but vast swathes of the country appear to receive that message with a shrug. Might be an element of The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Dem fundraising emails have been telling me democracy is at risk and this is the most important election of my life since my first vote at age 18. I'm 34 now, and I've voted in every election since 2006. The hell of it is, these past few years, they're not wrong and every recent congressional cycle and presidential election really is the borderline between a government notionally of the people and a government that's just openly in the pocket of whoever bought the most reps. But even if the last couple of years have, indeed, risen to the level described by the hyperbolic fundraising messages of the last fifteen years, I suspect the average voter can only hear that message so many times before beginning to tune it out.
