FiveGoodMen's JournalBalance is NEVER the aspiration
Nor should it be.
Getting to the truth is what matters.
The truth is never 'balanced'. It always says, "this is true; that is not."
'Balanced' is what the mighty steno-pool of the fourth estate calls its non-reporting.
They might manipulate office holders ... or they might select them
They might tell the left, "pick a card, any card..." and then hold out two possibilities both of which appeal to Democrats and both of whom really harbor neocon values.
One might be a woman, one might be a minority.
One might tip their hand on the campaign trail divulging where their real sympathies lie while the other might stick to a much better script until actually in office.
They might have anti-complaint memes ready and waiting before the office-holder even has a chance to do anything. Belittling, scoffing memes about ponies.
They might, for all intents and purposes, have canceled real elections in America without our even noticing.
There is absolutely no such thing as a secret body of law in a democracy.
Where the people rule (that's what democracy means), the people make and know the laws.
Let that sink in.

"the next four years kind of make me nervous" -- and the four after that are terrifying
If Americans had a chance to see what life was like under real Democrats -- those who stand up for everyone and not just the rich...
If we could stop worrying about our safety net being ripped away...
If we could stop worrying about whether we can actually afford health insurance...
If our civil rights weren't constantly under attack from both sides...
Then, we might relax, enjoy life, and make something of our time here.
I think the US would gravitate toward that if they ever saw it happening.
I think the Dems would be in the majority for a long time.
BUT: We won't see what a real Democratic (and democratic) world is like because the D party has been transforming into the R party's admiring little brother.
So the public will just keep flipping back and forth between the two.
So the next president will probably be an R.
And few will be able to tell the difference.
