Bourgeois Liberal's JournalWhen Democracy gets in the way of Income Streams...
...then it's democracy which has to go. Destroying democracy was not a conscious long-term objective. When you live in a world where time horizons are determined by news cycles, quarterly-earnings reports, ratings books and the next election you generally don't have long-term objectives. The immediate objective is always to preserve and guarantee income streams. And its for that reason that for the past 50 years (the 1971 Powell Memo serves as a convenient starting point) the US has been groping and stumbling from a democracy to an oligarchy. It's simply the line of least intellectual resistance. A petrified government which exists solely in order to hold the existing distribution of wealth in place is basically all that our 1-percent can imagine.
So there.
Dog Whistling?
"How to steal an election," Paul commented, before quoting from the article that Democrats' plans involved "seeding an area heavy with potential Democratic votes with as many absentee ballots as possible, targeting and convincing potential voters to complete them in a legally valid way, and then harvesting and counting the results."
Hmmm. Wonder what he means by areas "heavy with potential Democratic voters."
