Governments just reflect humanity. Even autocratic ones, but especially democratic (more or less) ones.
Look at our ongoing train-wreck. Pete Buttigieg was clearly the smartest, most open-minded candidate, the one most likely to take careful looks, do smart analysis, and push for efficient, effective solutions. He's out.
Now we're down to Trump, about whom I'll say no more for now, and either an arm-waving old man promising everything free for everybody forever, and another old man whose greatest political idea in his long, long political career was to run the incarcerated population up to the highest in the world.
Yay.

Here is an article illustrating the worst sort of LIE-beral virtue signalling!! With some comments of my own in brackets):
No-bail law boosting crime, but NY leaders still putting off any action
By New York Post Editorial Board
Published March 3, 2020 | 6:31pm
How ironic: Gov. Andrew Cuomo says he’ll hold up the budget unless it fixes the bail-reform law. Last year, he vowed not to OK it unless it included the flawed law.
At least the crime surge sparked by the reform (or public outrage over it) got him to see his mistakes. NYPD stats released Monday show a 20 percent jump in serious crimes over the first two months of the year, including robberies (up 35 percent) and car thefts (64 percent).
(And some LIE-berals WONDER why people want to carry GUNS??????????????)
Yet Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie wants New Yorkers to suffer still more crime before he’ll consider fixes. He pooh-poohed January’s crime uptick, saying it was too early to call it a “trend,” but there’s no sign even two months of data are enough for him.
If Heastie wants more crime, he’ll get it: Monday, a judge freed serial subway scam-mer Charles Barry, after he was nabbed for allegedly swiping cash — his 142nd career arrest and his seventh get-out-of-jail-free card in two months. Want to bet what a guy with 142 arrests does next?
(Yes- LIE-berals have made an amazing mess of our legal system - it costs to much to simply jail incorrigible criminals for life - and LIE-berals refuse to use lower cost and low tech solutions like caning to punish defiant trouble makers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
see also: Cuomo could make bail reform changes in state budget
(The Cdn version of bail “reform” as advocated by Toronto mayor Jackass John Tory involves simply turning accused criminals loose - in hope they will show up in a year or two for their trials - because thanks to damned LIE-berals - getting caught red handed and held in pre- trial custody means you get credit FOR THREE TIMES whatever time you spent in jail pre-trial!! In LIE-beral Crazy Land - holding vicious criminals without bail means THEY GET OUT EVEN FASTER and maybe Cuomo wants try something similar to Jackass John Tory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
On Friday, a judge again set Tiffany Harris free. She’d already gotten out twice after arrests for other alleged violent crimes, as a result of the reform.
And that was a day after Mark Nelson, a registered sex offender, was set loose in Orange County after being hauled in for trespassing outside a nursery school.
(Oh isnt that nice- a sex offender is prowling around schools?? How will LIE-berals resolve that one?? By arming kiddies - and that suggestion is not so crazy as it sounds - some poor guy in Chicago took his little boy and 3 year old girl into a McDonalds bathroom and while he was distracted - assisting the boy- his little girl was abducted and RAPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Yes- the attacker was an illegal immigrant with multiple deportations behind him and he just keeps coming back to commit other crimes and of course Chicago is a Sanctuary City so local cops had him in jail on other stuff and turned him loose on bail - WITHOUT Bothering to respond to the ICE WARRANT for deportation and that is when the little girl was abused and her family life DESTROYED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(THE REAL INSANITY OF THIS SITUATION is that after the guy was arrested and charged for attacking the girl - the suddenly publicity shy judge chose to HOLD THE GUY WITHOUT BAIL!! The guy was DEEPLY OFFENDED BY THAT - WHINING “BUT IT IS ONLY MY FIRST SEX CHARGE”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Thanks to Heastie, the state won’t jam up the revolving door before April 1; even then, any fixes will be done secretly, with no public oversight, as part of a budget deal.
(No public oversight?? Oh that is CLASSIC LIE-beral style!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Cuomo says this year, unlike 2019, he’ll hold a “public” meeting with DAs, police and others. Fine. But he admits pols up for re-election are “afraid” and “don’t want to take a position” — which sounds like a recipe for getting it wrong again.
(IT is also a classic illustration WE PAY POLITICIANS TOO MUCH - since they are so DESPERATE to hang onto the job that they are willing to pay any cowardly humiliating price!!!!!!!!!!)
New Yorkers are stuck hoping Cuomo can sway Heastie, trusting the deal will make the right fixes — and praying they’re not victims of avoidable crimes before then.
(Good luck with that!! Anything LIE-berals get right WILL BE BY ACCIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
