Democracy requires an educated and inforned electorate. And that is what the political rhetoric and lawyers have destroyed.
Keeping everyone dependant on their shrinking wallet makes them easily led, aka Vote your pocketbook, into defunding education, libraries,etc.
The rich still can afford to pay for quality privatized versions of these things.
Only enough to understand the propaganda that they are fed. Its amazing how little higher educated people know about neurodivergence, LGBTQ+ experiences, class consciousness, indigenous cultures and lifeways.
We live in an ultra-capitalist society operating on the ableism, classism, racism and sexism that defined ancient grecian and roman politics.
you're right that people are voting against their interests, both dems and republicans
the vote with your wallet rhetoric sounds good when you realize that you have less dollars than a multinational corporation. so we've tied political and civil freedom to the ability to pay for what you think they should be? that means the rich will always win. and this vote with your wallet rhetoric is parroted by people making less than 50k/year because they think being an american libertarian is edgy
