I believe that both sides have massive noise machines designed to encourage the “manipulatees” to make political donations. [/quote]
The vast majority of Americans don’t make political donations at all. So, if such apparatus exist, they’re not working.
The right-wing noise machine creates an echo chamber large and loud enough that one who subscribes to it can get the impression that the whole world agrees with his views. Any such apparatus on the left is dwarfed by that on the right. Unless you’ve been duped into thinking that the mainstream media is liberally biased. That ruse, as I’ve said on this forum before, is one of the most brilliant strokes of propaganda in the history of American propaganda.[/quote]
If you have read anything I’ve written in these threads, you will realize that I have significant problems with both parties. Your conviction that your viewpoint is unassailable suggests that someone’s been duped, but I don’t think it’s me :).
