I thank you for your comment even though I disagree with so much of it.
There are in fact serious differences between the 2 major parties. These differences don't translate into substantial opposition at the national level ... but they still exist! And in my opinion it's not possible to understand American politics without recognizing the differences between the parties. You're welcome to try, though, if you wish.
As for Larisa and/or I having missed the point: NO, sorry! We are both aware that this is not the first grievous miscarriage of justice in Mississippi's history, nor will it likely be the last. What we're saying is that this is the first time we have ever heard of this particular type of miscarriage. Nobody else has ever heard of such a thing either. That's what makes it "new".
I won't go on and on about the other disagreements I have with this comment, but I will say that asking people to boycott the election does not strike me as a sane idea at all, since if they listened to you they would leave the entire process in the hands of others. In my opinion we need people to get more involved in politics, not less.
thanks, but no!
