People can vote to change the leadership and direction of the municipality. Not so much the corporation. Yes I realize this argument wears thinner the more democracy gets weakened... and hey, weird, the ones weakening it are the same few people (Comcast in this case) who stand to profit from weakening it. Just a coincidence I'm sure! Anyway you're not helping democracy either, by giving up on it and/or buying into the whole "the market will fix everything" idea. Free markets would be great, but what you find instead is that those who want to exploit a given market, sell everybody on the idea that "the market will fix everything" when they want to enter it. But after that, they do everything in their power to make sure it's NOT a free market. They want to avoid dealing with competitors, so they work to keep them out of the market. But unfortunately competition is the precondition on which most of the "market will fix everything" argument rests.
