i dunno if you guys have noticed but this year i've been sniping on the side in this forum for just about anything i've cared to comment on. even though i knew the whole thing was going to be embarrassing a week later i figured that i should get it out there instead of becoming john-lite for no reason aside that i hate everyone.
i still cant take most of anything here seriously but it was nice to get it out.

We are making the assumption that all people are terrible and not capable of rational scrutiny, and that's the reason for the polarization

well no. all people are terrible, and thats the reason that no matter what happens, people will find new ways of being terrible, if necessary. it's not going to end with some brilliant third party taking charge, there's just going to be dissatisfaction and gnashing until someone who perverts the original intent takes charge and keeps screwing up.
i go on various news trackers, find articles i want to read, and do the wikipedia-style meandering where that leads to links to other interesting news articles. some days it's 2 hrs, other days it's 20 minutes.
