The demagoguery of our era?

With the joys of the Obama nearly over, and our looking at Trump's audio popularity shaking the roof a little: have we reclaimed the earlier pleasures of democracy as applied to the populace of Athens?

If so, these political leaders aren't really Socrates are they?

The problem is that the folks doing the voting today happen to have the education and mentality of the main characters from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Sadly, we do not have a time machine to go back in time in order to educate them.
People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to visit violence on those who would do them harm.

I disagree. Cruz, Sanders, Hillary, and Trump are very Socratic.
Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary.

This 'democratic' experiment is failing.
