#averagevoter — Public Fediverse posts

“The average voter is a moron. He believes what he reads in newspapers, feeds his imagination and lulls his repressions on the cinema, and hopes to break away from his slavery by football pools, cross-word prizes, or spotting the winner of the 3:30. He is ignorant as no illiterate peasant is ignorant: he has no power of independent thought. He is the prey of panic. But he has the vote.”

Pub Mate: "Brookes' cartoon (Times, 29/02/23) captures the #AverageVoter's problem with Jeremy #Corbyn - clearly further left than he presented himself. Despite perhaps liking his initial policies, their worry was about where he'd go next if elected (plus the #Lexit crapola, obvs)."
