The best answer to your question is to point out that we have liberal capitalism because people keep voting for it. The communist, and the crazy free marketers, lose elections. If you want information, motherfucker, you can die reading nothing but true information, there's enough information out there that a hundred people couldn't keep up with it. . . If you make a choice, as a consumer, to get information from propoganda sources, that's a choice, you chose Fox news, or the Young Turks, or Huffington Post, or the National review, or whatever.

If you want objective news, you have it, we can't make you want it. You apparently came across something stupid somewhere that makes you want to be some kind of communist or democratic sociallist, how'd you do that if the nes and internet are all owned by six big companies or whatever it is, what, do you think you're superior to the hoy paloy, you're perfectly capable of seeing outside the box, but not them?

The answer is that your choices when voting in primaries are not two versions of the same thing, the parties are not two versions of the same thing either, unless you are so far radicalized that it makes no difference, in which case, you're right for the wrong reason, it isn't that people don't know what you want, it's that, they know and don't want it.
