Re: Class War (4.00 / 7)
I think it is more accurate to say that what actual democracy does is allow the masses to pick and choose among elites.

That is why gerrymandering is such a corrosive assault on democracy, since it allows the elected to choose the electors that they prefer.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
