It’s fun to pontificate on the sidelines about “manufactured consent” and how “neoliberalism leads to fascism” all day long. The reality is all forms of governance that involve some form of democratic participation require vigilance and engagement. If you think the socialist utopia you’re dreaming of is immune to the vicissitudes of man, then you have some life experience to acquire.

In the meantime people are being snatched off the streets because the candidate Dems proposed wasn’t left enough or something. Whatever.
