lest we get nostalgic for more enlightened days of democracy

"Open-minded voters who make a sincere attempt to weigh the issues and the candidates dispassionately for the good of the country as a whole - exist mainly in the deferential campaign propaganda, in textbooks on civics, in the movies, and in the minds of some political idealists."

- Paul Lazarsfeld, 1944
