U. S. ELECTION 2006

Citizens treated as consumers (virtual democracy working at its best):

Last week: Republicans



This week: Democrats



When democracy is reduced to an electoral fight and when that fight is basically expressed on T. V., it becomes not just a vulgar dispute that legitimizes the exchange between elites but democracy itself becomes virtual, because it is never the real interests of people what is claimed. In Mexico we have just lived that but the U S. sets up the best example.
