      You know what? Fuck it. The next Democratic presidential candidate should just flat out offer bread and circuses. Everybody gets food stamps and free internet. Just flat out call it the “Bread and Circuses” campaign. Hell, offer people tickets to literal circuses and other live entertainment.

      “We’re stuck with the Roman aristocrats, but this time we don’t even get the bread and circuses. Let’s fix that!”
