| >Still bullshit. Really? Because immediately after you dismissed hopes that the Internet might be a force for democratization, you said the following in reference to candidates' corrupting (and incompatible with democracy) need for money: "We have the Internet now. There is no such need anymore." Were you thinking of something more democratizing than that? The rest of that paragraph and the next are ridiculous strawmen. >If you want to invoke technology, then all technology is a "democratizing and equalizing force". That argument is just plain stupid. Are you being deliberately obtuse? Trolling? Or are you really that prone to committing such gaping logical fallacies? FWIW, I didn't just "invoke technology". I referenced the Net. >And money is not the biggest threat. Democracy? Doesn't exist in America. Not really. The media is right: we are a country ruled by elites And who are the elites? The poor? You know, this is pointless. Your entire comment is void of any introspection and is not even internally consistent. It just argues with itself. Worse, you sincerely can't seem to follow a thread. It's so bad that I really do hope that you are just trolling. But, in any case, I'll leave you to your "self-stimulation". |
