Most of the Democrats are bought off by the same people as the Republicans. All this political theatre is just a show for the illusion of choice. Hopefully more people who can't be bought off get elected, but I doubt it.

Hopefully more people will realize that bourgeois democracy is working as intended, and that it cannot be reformed; it must be replaced.
Nope. It's because of Israel.
Israel plays a part in that some of the policy makers are part of a Doomsday cult where Israel needs to exist for the rapture to happen. But mostly it's just bribery.
Dumbasses
Is anyone understanding yet that the status quo is that elected officials report to a group of influential people who have selected them because they can be controlled and that is all?
It's true that the people with the power would rather their controllable opponent win an election than a candidate in their own party who has ideas of their own.
Until that can be remedied, democracy is truly afflicted by ophiocordyceps unilateralis.
Your vote means NOTHING
Your voice means NOTHING
CARRY ON AS DIRECTED
Yes, for centuries. Marxists and anarchists have long known this. That's why we advocate revolution.
Dinosaurs voting for a meteor
now that's surprising /s
100% when the Democrats have full control it's all 'golly gee willikers' but the second the Republicans have full control it's like 'everyone loves steak now. EAT IT'

They sure shut the fuck up about " blue no matter who" real fast.
The fact that liberals refuse to read just 100 pages of State and Revolution while insisting that they are having new ideas or that the political environment has somehow changed is by far the most frustrating thing about Lemmy comment sections. I'm an anarchist, someone smeared by Lenin in that book but at least I read it and understand. My disagreement is with the vision and form of the dictatorship of the proletariat and how we can build a new commune, not the need for revolution or insisting that somehow, some way after 175 years of the same discussion voting for reform will work.
I swear Americans have never read a book that wasn't Harry Potter in their lives.
