Would you consider an article about billionaires, Super PACs, and Russian election interference to be implying that U.S. citizens are too ignorant to vote for their own interests?
Yes

What? I just don’t think my fellow people are that stupid. Saying they are prevents us from finding common ground and creating a new coallation.
Edit: Also I didn’t follow your argument at all. You said would this example imply Americans are being manipulated, I said yes, then you said they are being manipulated, which doesn’t follow from my original point that the articles are flawed by implying people are dumb/manipulated.
Why is he called a neoliberal instead of a conservative? What’s the distinction that needs to be highlighted in this case?
