[Attention Surplus Disorder]

“...that men are simple beings drifting in the sea of life and can be easily led with purely material elements to do what their masters want.”

Ahh, but you’re making it sound like these beings, whether principled or merely drifters are making an equivocal, voluntary choice. The folks locked into gov’t money & benefits see it as their survival. They are not making the voting choices they do just to piss off Constitutionalists; they are doing it because they are voting what they believe are their best interests. They are voting their paycheck or their survival teat, in some form.

I can’t reconcile what you say (about what I originally posted) that this kind of viewpoint identifies me as a possible Marxist. I’m not offended, I just don’t get the connection. True Marxist (leaders) aren’t about to let the people vote for anything whose outcome is not determined in advance. Supposedly, we have a relatively fair election going on here and the winner, even if convoluted means are used to count the votes, is supposedly determined by the plurality of the votes, of course funneled into the EC system.

It's very easy to accept a government check and continue to be a Constitutionalist. It's even easier to accept a government check and continue to be a Capitalist.

Only Marxist think the other way around.
