That's democracy in the sense of two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.

the resident socialists will tell you this isn't happening...

I'm considering quiting my job and going back to school if a democrat is elected in November. Might as well start getting mine for free instead of working for it.

I know better than you how you should run your life. I know right from wrong better than you. I will decide what you can do in the privacy of your home and bedroom. I will decide how you should manage your money. I will decide what you can eat, drink, and smoke. I will decide what deals you can make with others. I will decide what to teach your children. I will decide what you can do with your property. In fact, I have an endless list of good ideas.

That sounds like the fundamental premise of globalization. Global capital knows better how to run countries than their electorate, according to globalization advocates.

I'm guessing you are in that camp.
