    I hate Donald Trump as much as the next guy but you identity politics dupes need to wake up and stop throwing your support behind fake leftists like Obama. The absence of a true left is what gave us Donald Trump in the first place.

      What gave us Donald Trump was a lot of rich oligarchs who wanted their never-ending tax breaks and a cult of poorly educated dumb-asses.

        And those oligarchs bought up every key political seat in the GOP and DNC….

        What I am getting at is: we’re sitting here infighting between two sham parties.
        First past the post literally disqualifies the US from being considered a democracy. It keeps us infighting about Hulk Hogan vs. the Undertaker while the corporations (which are considered people except they are increasingly unprosecutable/above the law) shape our government into a fascist state whether you’re talking about under GOP or DNC rule.

        they got that with Republicans. what gave us Donald Trump is a 2 party system and it’s lack of alignment with the electorate.
