Why Wisconsin’s Recall Clusterf#@k Matters

As the author states:
So, $25 per vote from reactionary out-of-state donors versus three bucks and one million petition signatures from regular old Wisconsinites: which one of them will prevail in June will tell us what American democracy will look like – if it will look like democracy at all.
Wanna bet who will win? I recall reading fairly recently that the person who spent the most won the election something like more than 90% of the time. The odds are all well in favor of the oligarchy and even in the unlikely event that the oligarchy fails to prevail in this case, they will just keep chipping away and the sheeple will eventually belly up to the Kool-aid and eliminate themselves from relevance. Like I said yesterday, pretty soon the oligarchy won’t need to even bother with the semblance of democracy, though I suppose they might keep the trappings as a way to keep the sheeple calm and relaxed (or rather riled up and passionate, thus divided and incapable of organizing, about matters that are totally irrelevant to our society as a whole).
