    The problem is, it won’t be fixed at the ballot box.

    You’ve been duped, not because you’re dumb, but because they’re very good at what they do… that’s the genius of our political system. Good cop/bad cop has been in use since ancient Rome, and it is now a fine art.

    It won’t be fixed at the ballot box, the Democrats will not save you. What did Biden do for you? Wake up. He couldn’t even pass minimum wage, didn’t even bother with one standalone bill. In eight years, Obama didn’t reform anything; “Obamacare” just funneled more money to for-profit insurance companies. Sadly, we’re used to so little, even that was an improvement.

    Go ahead and vote, I do. But that is because it’s my duty as an American, not because I think it will work. I am old… it’s never worked, and I don’t expect it to magically start working tomorrow.

      You should spend less time typing and more time reading.

      If that doesn’t help ask questions.

      But all you’re doing right now is telling people to give up, which is fucking stupid unless an oligarch is paying you, then it’s just shitty.
