Former Democratic chairman reveals Clinton rigging of 2016 nomination campaign
A " enlightened " voice on right wing talk radio yesterday rather than insist, contrary to all the facts that WE have democracy in America - still glorious and real after all these years, said that democracy is a just a big mistake " because majority of voters are TOO STUPID ".
But , you see, there is nothing stupid about our ruling class, our ONE PERCENT plutocracy. Nothing stupid about FREE MARKET worship, nothing stupid about the military industrial complex and preparations for nuclear World War III . Nothing stupid about global capitalism and the destruction of the environment.
Indeed the radio talk show hosts ( " Red Eye Radio " ) always hope for a low turn out in every election - so the stupid voters will not have a say in the serious business of capitalist exploitation and oppression.
If the working class voters are so stupid , why must the mainstream news media - and what passes for public education- make such an extraordinary effort to stupefy them ?
It must very subversive indeed to have faith in human reason and human dignity .
