Technocrats are dictators with a fancy name.

Oh man that's really great.

You know what's the worst part about Moderate Heroes?

Yeah, the definition of an urban space in the census is still like, 2500 people in a political unit. A metro requires only 50k. I don't think that fits what anyone is talking about when they talk about urban vs rural political conflict.

I'm definitely voting for the guy again but you can't say he's without flaws, not least the fact that a sizable portion of the party has been trained to despise him on a Pavlovian level. In real numbers this group is not that large, but unfortunately Twitter has a stranglehold on the media discourse, because that's where all the media people happen to be.

It's a shame that this got a perceptive, level-headed response that I in large part agree with instead of the frothing rage from the usual suspects I was hoping to get on the 2020 board.
