The fact that #Trump was eligible to run for #President came as quite a surprise to the rest of the world.

I think it's possible to have a healthy balance of democratic and technocratic government, that utilises all our collective skill and knowledge whilst still being overseen by and accountable to the people.

But in the present day distortions exist that didn't and couldn't in Lincoln's day. We have to recognise that, and recognise that those three things are not necessarily the same or even immediately compatible, and to make a choice.
