You can't make this up: The Washington Post, which is owned by mega-oligarch Jeff Bezos (who has $130 BILLION in wealth) published an oped calling for elites to have an even "bigger say in choosing the president"

They already control basically everything!

The Bezos Post just changed this insane headline, but the article still calls for a primary system that "would empower elites to bargain and make decisions, instructed by voters."

ie, let capitalist oligarchs control everything, but with a little feedback from the peanut gallery
This misunderstands the fundamental problem: The elites in the capitalist class have an *irreconciliable* class conflict with the working class. We have *opposing* class interests

But the neoliberals' proposed "solution" is be nice to your oligarchs! Bigger cages, longer chains!
