The Fatal Flaw with Democracy
Nov. 5, 2014 1:21 pmBy Thom Hartmann A...Of all the depressing things to take away from last night’s elections – and believe me, there are many – the most depressing is probably the fact that we have outsourced our political process to factions. Actual candidates and actual campaigns no longer run the show; billionaires and dark money do.
