Dave Winer on supporting sport teams vs. political parties:
Look, I’m a Mets fan because I was a Mets fan when I was a kid. … I like to think I’m a Mets fan because they have better philosophy, but I know in my heart that it’s really the color of the hat.
…
I also think that when people talk about The Left or The Right or conservative vs liberal, they’r really saying “I cling to the past when trying to understand the future.” I also think, sorry to say, that people who do this are idiots who don’t deserve a vote …
Dave’s forgetting music genres. I used to have the opinion that anyone who didn’t listen to heavy metal shouldn’t be allowed to vote either.
