   @StillIRise1963 It is the verbal equivalent of WWE wrestling. We totally need to stop consuming this crap (and yes, I mean me, I have almost completely weaned myself off it)

     “Pundits” scoring political points against other “pundits” MEANS NOTHING.

     @StillIRise1963 It really, really is. I think a lot of people don't recognize it because it's language and discussion and feels more intellectual. But you are spot on... it is utterly meaningless reality TV masquerading as something intelligent.

     @StillIRise1963 Sometimes I think if we could wean ourselves off this spectacle, we'd stop imagining these people are somehow fighting for us, and fight for ourselves.

     @Remittancegirl Yep. It’s not a proxy, it’s just meaningless.
