Thread:Comments:United States re-elects Barack Obama/A truly terrible day, IMO./reply (8)

You're right. It's my personal biases and those of society (the United States, particularly) that led me to make that judgement. It is, in my own judgement, a "psychological reality." But it is not in your opinion. And that, indeed, may be fact. It's just a judgement I've come to after years of following U.S. politics in more than a glancing fashion. That's not to say that my opinion has any more credibility than yours or anyone else's, just that the my judgement is made based not only upon bias, but upon personal experience as well. That said, I wasn't very successful in articulating my initial opinion as just that: an opinion.
