Democracy?/Sanders.. how about when the dnc turned and worked against sanders so hillary could be on the ticket? Against the voters will?

> You’re equivalency is a fallacy

This is a weird statement given the state of current affairs.

Democracy, has already been taken over by populists who peddle the idea that you are better off when the government takes care of you. The free press which is supposed to protect democracy, in many cases finds itself a willing/unwilling partner in it's demise.

Let me ask you this. If a major incident were to occur, say something that had the potential to shake up the party in power.. say it's the party right now.. do you believe it would get the play time it deserves, do you think the truth will be curated by some deeply committed journalist that believes in democracy so much, he puts everything at stake to get the story? Or, do you believe the party in power, knowing that something was going to leak out would first meet with it's incident handlers, "leak" it to a few trusted journalists who downplay the incident and then call their partners in the media and persuade them of the narrative?

As a nation, we've got our heads so far up our ass, that if something doesn't change soon, we are all screwed.. for several generations
