I may agree with you regarding FDR and Trump, but their styles and attention to detail are vastly different.

I meant the words "a certain sector". Many of the people who voted for Trump did not want to gut net neutrality. I was pointing out that when a sector of society votes for X, their elected official can also do Y and Z. This is the representative democracy system, which I think has major flaws.

Yes. Basically, FDR was competent. Trump isn't. I'm still not sure which is worse, given it's competence at achieving goals with which I disagree.

Also agreed. What do you think of sortition as a replacement?
