Lots of life is about tradition and ceremony. The President uses the SotU to pose his major policies for the year with the biggest audience he'll have. Even if the proposals go nowhere, they at least start the debate and inject the topics into public discourse. I've been reading minimum wage threads everywhere. Would you prefer he email his proposals to each citizen?
Being dismissive and checking out doesn't make you cool.
