Is it elitism to tell someone they don't know their own self-interest, and you do?

- csb6 2y agoWith that attitude, no policy would ever need to be advocated for, and there would be no reason to buy campaign ads. Marketing as a business would be completely ineffective. The rideshare companies clearly don’t share your philosophy - otherwise they would not have spent massive amounts of money promoting the proposition. It seems reasonable to me that they were trying to sell a piece of legislation to voters that would greatly benefit the rideshare companies financially while downplaying the negative effects many believed it would have on gig workers.
