    That’s easy to say but when there are laws in place to protect the entrenched two-party system and they’re choosing who you get to vote for, it should be plainly obvious that we’re just being given an illusion of choice.

    Look at Trump’s term, then at Biden’s. America as a whole didn’t really change. The talking heads sqwaked about different topics but ultimately we’re no different as a country than were 8 years ago. It’s a lot of finger pointing in the end but ultimately when one side gets in, the rich get tax breaks. When the opposite side gets in, the same rich tax the poor harder via increased prices at every register. Either way, their wealth increases and they get richer.

    The only way forward should be sweeping, drastic change which is often the platform both parties run on, yet neither are ever held accountable for failure to deliver on those promises. The fact that we live in a country as vast as the USA while somehow only having a choice between two different shit sandwiches is utterly ridiculous. I’m tired of eating shit!
