[lbo-talk] "antidemocratic"

[Doug Henwood]

And, by the way, the number of people voting in these Pacifica 
elections, with winners getting as little as 200 or 400 votes, makes 
a NYC board of education election look like a monster turnout. Most 
listeners have neither the time nor the inclination to familiarize 
themselves with the candidates. WBAI is wasting airtime right now 
spending hours on local board elections, at the expense of coverage 
of the U.S. elections, the Afghan elections, the war in Iraq, etc. 
Most listeners don't care, and are turned off by the hours of 
navel-gazing.
