Salience
I'm still puzzled by the new variable between R and D. Before this year, R and D were both completely rigged. Neither paid any attention at all to Americans or "voters". Both slavishly obeyed Goldman and Bibi.
This year, for reasons that are still unexplained, R let down its guard and allowed "votes" to be counted, resulting in a new type of candidate and a dramatically different platform.
D maintained the old system and the old slavish obedience, which now STANDS OUT in stark salient contrast.
This difference also extends to another aspect of the old system.
Previously the "losing" candidate was predetermined to "lose", and joined the "winning" team during the convention, thus instantly becoming the predetermined "winner" for the next election.
This routine also failed on the R side. Cruz refused to play the old game. He saved his soul and beliefs instead of selling his soul. Though I disagree with most of his beliefs, I respect him tremendously for this departure. Before this, I wasn't sure he had a soul.
The old routine continues on the unchanged D side. Bernie and Elizabeth are both playing the old game, joining the Goldman team.... but Bernie's followers are NOT playing the old game. They are saving their souls by maintaining their beliefs.
