Gregory's Server@yogthos There's never been democracy in the United States. Those with money and power have always had a systematic advantage, and the electoral college system is not even approximately democratic.

 @yogthos Agree strongly. I feel that, in a democracy, all media organisations (including social media) MUST be consumer-owned co-operatives. That allows a broad range of views and prevents state control without allowing kleptocrat control.  @simon_brooke I agree, media in particular must be publicly owned, and coperatives are a perfect vehicle for that. |
@simon_brooke pretty much, you can't have any actual democracy when money plays such a huge role in elections. And I'd argue that this further extends to things like media ownership as well.
