      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?

          Well, then they are. The point of both articles is that people are being manipulated. It is hard not to be manipulated.

            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?
