Irrelevant baloney

More weaseling from blup to justify an attempt to trample over a democracy

democracy

A definition of which is......
.....a way of governing which depends on the will of the people.


If the people don't know what they're voting for, how can it be their "will" and, by extension, how can it be democracy?

Media is owned largely by billionaires

Mainstream media and social media is infested with influencers / lobby groups or so called “think tanks”

And who are the backers for all these lobby groups……wealthy business interests like the Koch brothers.
