It's hard to disagree with you. What would be worth asking is: Why? And also: What can be done to change this in the future?
Two corrupt political parties that are owned by monied interests thanks to Citizens United, decades without campaign finance reform, and rampant "gifts" and extortion.
Neither party represents the people or their needs. They take money and make money. Laws are written by monied special interests. Members of both parties have been doing insider trading for decades, but now it is on naked display, bold and unashamed, as if it to say, "what are you going to do about it?"
Drastic systemic changes are needed on the order of a Constitutional Convention, but it is doubtful that it will happen without tremendous public outcry.
Perhaps if people become desperate enough something might happen, but keeping people divided is a strategy to prevent resistance.
It seems like we are sliding closer everyday to George Orwell's 1984. I wonder when Hate Week starts . . .
fast forward 16 months later and literally every argument that was made (except one), not only did not pan out but the exact opposite has and is been happening.
the sane politics here would end up as “boy oh boy did we fuck this up, so much fucking up, my bad for october of 2024 when you had to listen what we believed in” but we no longer can have that, what we have is blind following of the supreme leader with an “excuse” for every fuckup (all along the “you can see the big picture and long term plan”…)
