The USA a wingless democracy?

Hiya!

Why is it, everytime I hear democrats or republicans talk, I only hear delegations of Pepsi and CocaCola talking about the advantages of sweet, brown drinks?

Am I lost?

Dumb down the people, and the government can run amuck. It's a systemic flaw in democracy, a flaw that can only be exploited with the mass media technology we have today. The last best hope of preserving our republic is a free internet. If we lose that, we have nothing.
