    If all that was at play here was mere democracy, we'd have an M4A candidate. The population is solidly to the left of either party on the majority of issues, but they get no voice because liberal democracy is an exercise in choosing between the options that capitalists have picked for you.

        This is much less snappy than it is grammatically ambiguous.

              Your bubble/echo-chamber is solidly to the left of either party on the majority of issues. The bulk of the population is mostly fine with or approving of a right-shift in media policy.

                I don't know what you're on about wrt "media policy" but I'm not saying Americans are communists. It's been demonstrated in survey after survey that social-democratic positions are generally the most popular.

                  Exactly. Literally every poll confirms this. But they aren't interested in facts. They're only into Facts and Logic(tm)
