GOTV wonders if Henry David Thoreau was prescient. Certainly, he was perceptive, and foresaw political trends. In his essay Civil Disobedience, Thoreau stated:
The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country … A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called ... games and amusements ... There is no play in them … it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things …
The vituperative nature of Mehmet Oz's recent anti-Fetterman ads certainly suggests a diagnosis of desperation which is neither unconscious nor quiet.
Face it, Dr. Oz – John leads you by about eight points in most polls.
