What was remarkable about the last election was that there is finally a self-conscious critical mass of people who could force the establishment to choose between losing an election and continuing the genocide. Those people are not responsible for the choice the establishment made; in fact they are acting in a strategically rational way that has clearly led to great success for the Republican party.
On a post about JE no less! The personification of the falseness of American surface politics; the most prolific trafficker in human history who had a close, personal friendship with BOTH candidates in a presidential election.
I.e "brainwashed control opposition". You got people like the twitch streamer Hassan Piker being paid by Bezos (who donated to Trump) to spread communism under name of progressivism, which basically gives conservatives the ammo to attack Democrats on.
It should be clear to anyone that the problem with the current administration is not the conservatism, but the authoritarianism that comes with its own set of people who are stupid that are not actually conservative. Republicans would easily hold down massive support if they were about conservatism and not about authoritarianism - i.e small government without expanding overreach, absolute freedom of speech, following the rule of law, and focusing on economic expansion.
And communism is authoritarianism, what you want is no different than what conservatives want, you just think your version is better, which is exactly what they think. But its easy to sell that to you because you think that you are on the left and thus different from republicans.
Money is power. 100 people have the majority of the money. You can’t get elected without lots and lots of money from at least a few people with their own agenda. Establishment Democrats and Republicans both are part of the problem.
Look at productivity vs wages trends starting in the Reagan years. Look at how much more wealthy the extremely wealthy have become over the last decade, and how much your own wealth has followed that growth.
There is no middle ground where you assume that people have rhe ability to think and make rational decisions, except for the times when theybmake bad decisions, but in that case its not their fault.
And not voting is basically saying that you rate either candidate equivalent to each other, and in the context of Trump vs Kamala, thats insane.
