  • Cultural hegemony is the dominance of a culturally diverse society by the ruling class who shape the culture of that society—the beliefs and explanations, perceptions, values, and mores—so that the worldview of the ruling class becomes the accepted cultural norm.[1] As the universal dominant ideology, the ruling-class worldview misrepresents the social, political, and economic status quo as natural and inevitable, and that it perpetuates social conditions that benefit every social class, rather than as artificial social constructs that benefit only the ruling class.

  • So that’s a no. You spent a lot of words to avoid saying the word no, but you seem to understand we cannot fix that problem in the short term.

    So why do you insist on acting as if we have an informed electorate that will weigh their options and come to an informed decision? At what point do Democrats have to stop the wishful thinking and join us in reality?

    If it helps, I’d like the same thing. But what we want doesn’t matter. Winning elections does.

    And for the record, I and a lot of other people read the article. Pretending ‘everyone who comes to a different conclusion than you did is uninformed’ is condescending. We simply choose to give credence to the activists that work for consumers over another corporate backed Democrat. “There are too many regulations on the books” is a right wing talking point and a nonsense excuse.

    “This veto sends the devastating message that corporate landlords can keep using secret price-fixing algorithms to take extra rent from people who have the least,”
