If anyone ever doubted that the DNC and the GOP weren't on the same team, just watch as the DNC let this opportunity slip right through their fingers. Access to the greatest political, strategical, minds and they will let this opening wash away into a river of fascism.

It's a play, we are watching theatre. Meant to keep you distracted. Meant to keep you oppressed.

Meant to keep you distracted

From what?

We could all collectively decide to chop the heads off of the elite. We don't need to argue about which capitalist is better every 4 years. There's nothing physically stopping 90% of the country from just overthrowing the other 10% if we really tried together

Just make a balance of what the governments of the last 40 years did. Would the us be worse or better off if those changes had not been made? My opinion is that government is unnecessary. There are enough laws already. If anything really needs to be changed it can be done by referendum. Abolish the government!

Edit: government is the biggest illusion of them all

1000% this. If the DNC wanted to stop this, they could have.

How?

For starters, by spending the last 4 years training a different candidate to beat trump this year.

But failing that, they could absolutely have prevented that disaster on the debate. They knew full well how the rest of America will react to seeing Biden look like that, and I find it no coincidence that it happened directly before The Supreme Court ruled to overturn Chevron and Grant immunity to Trump.

While that is interesting, you realize before the 4 years you mentioned, Trump did everything he's in trouble for doing. He also established the supreme court we have. If Biden randomly died his first 5 months, we still would be in a similar (if not the same) situation. Every person who made this happen, would still have their previously established power. Training someone new would not have stopped this inevitability.

It wouldn't have, that's true. I just feel that it would have been a better circumstance than that we have now. But I think honestly I'm just reaching for copium right now. This entire week was a dark week in our country.
