"The campaigns don’t favor the voters with the gratitude and respect owed
to their standing as valuable citizens participant in the making of such a
thing as a common good. They stay on message with their parsing of
democracy as the ancient Greek name for the American Express card,
picturing the great, good American place as a Florida resort hotel wherein
all present receive the privileges and comforts owed to their status as
valued customers, invited to convert the practice of citizenship into the
art of shopping, to select wisely from the campaign advertisements, texting
A for Yes, B for No."
