Yo can we stop pretending the Dems are dumb? They would literally prefer Trump over sanders, let alone someone who would actually run this country decently well
They aren’t flailing around, limbless birds. They aren’t the sheep that will be culled. Their donors are the fucking same, it just wasn’t their turn. Their instincts are perfect for the task they’ve been given
There is a regenerative farm to table restaurant near me. The owner used to work in the Obama admin first term. He left and started a farm, and I quote, not because the government worked poorly, but because it worked perfectly
they have very incorrectly estimated that they're not on the chopping block. they think they're in the same boat as their donors, but they'll be thrown out as sacrifices
I genuinely don’t know if they will. Like yes the rhetoric is aimed at them and the man on the plastic chair is completely senile and probably does want them removed, but the actual people behind the wig have an incentive to keep them around. A two party system locks out proper representation and is a beautiful pressure valve that’s conveniently soaked in tradition. A one party system in America will fester a tremendous amount of anger and much more potential instability. It is a safer play to try to keep the charade going and they’re probably just letting him pretend the controllers plugged in for now since he doesn’t have much time left. I think he’s run a bit away with the plot, but I do think they’ll reign them in and regardless of who is leader, they’ll use the tools established to maintain surveillance and disappear undesirables who want workers to be paid at least half of what they’re worth
The Democrats are the carrot and the Republicans are the stick. You need both for the duopoly to function as a form of domestic counterinsurgency. The Democrats played their role brilliantly in the George Floyd uprising. If it was just Republicans, people then would've long since taken up arms (I saw someone shot at a bunch of police cars driving by with a pistol on day 3 at woke.net. Now imagine if people really thought Trump was going to take over as a fascist.). But Democrats as the carrots completely dampened any revolutionary tempo the masses had and brought confusion among people. This was when you started seeing protest police popping up and how "fuck the police" got watered down to "abolish the police," which was further watered down to "defund the police" until it got to the point where police funding increased under Biden.
It pains me how right you are
this was the answer to this question for the past 20 years. the hour is late. the "smart" people behind the curtain are the ones going all in on eliminating the need for popular consent whatsoever through omnipotent surveillance, automation of labor, and genocide
