“Elections and politicians are in place in order to give Americans the illusion that they have freedom of choice. You don’t really have choice in this country.
All the things that are important are reduced in choice; newspapers in a city, there used to be three, four; now it’s one or two; is it owned by the same people and they also own radio stations. There used to be seven oil companies, there are now three, it will soon be two. The things that matter in this country have been reduced in choice to two political parties. There are a handful of insurance companies, there are about six or seven information centers. But if you want a bagel there are 23 flavors because you have the illusion, you have the illusion of choice.
Give these people a voting day every year, so that they’ll have the illusion of meaningless choice, meaningless choice that we go like slaves and say, Joe, I voted. The limits of debate in this country are established before the debate even begins. And everyone else is marginalized, and made to seem they’re to be communist or some sort of disloyal person.”
