If you look at the democratic process as a game of chess, there have to be many, many moves before you get to checkmate.

This is what the democratic process is like. ↗

I think that's one of the things that has always put me in kind of an odd niche. It's that all of my understanding of orchestral music is via film, not via classical music like it's supposed to be. To me it's the same, it doesn't make any difference. ↗
