I assume that part of the problem is that we don't have politicians with whom these people agree on most topics other than privatization who also don't want to privatize everything. When you have a binary choice of politicians in a multidimensional space, you're likely to have to elect someone with whom you disagree on a lot of things.
- zanny 9y agoIf everyone agreed on this universally, why is nothing being done about it? You would find candidates who do the single-issue thing on reforming the electoral system and you elect them, because you know in advance nothing else matters until you have actual representation.
- bsder 9y agoThen perhaps privatization is more important than they thought, no? And perhaps maybe that should be their single issue until they dislodge their representation? The problem is that these same jerks aren't against privatizing YOUR stuff; they're just against privatizing THEIR stuff. This is a common theme among the right wing of the US political system right now.
