      I’ve got to assume they are finally understanding that they need to keep up some kind of facade for this to work. Theyve been incredibly obvious this whole time. Or maybe the handlers finally fired those other morons running the account.

    Third parties in the US are almost exclusively tools for siphoning votes off the main parties.

    But if you still think government runs the show you are out to lunch. Corporations have been dictating policy for a long long time in the US, and the laws are only making it easier for corporations to directly own politicians.

    The only one who will change this is if a huge amount of voters organizing and demanding change. Like current levels Republican stochastic terrorism, but for things like healthcare, education, workers rights, consumer rights etc.

    Corporations spend a lot of time and money taking these things away from us, and we’ve been generally watching the middle class disappear for decades.

    It will take sustained, active, pressure, and vigilance from the people to make corporate money is not worth it and politicians make decisions based on benefitting their constituents.

    Unfortunately, nowadays most constituents only care about making life difficult for others instead of better for everyone including themselves.

    Progressives: The Democrats need to stop going high when the other side goes low. That’s why they’re always losing.

    Democrats: We’re going to prop up third party candidates to siphon Republican voters like they do to us.

    Progressives: Not like that!

    And the Dems dicked with RFK to get him to run independent instead of possibly getting a Democratic delegate. Both parties will do whatever necessary to make sure the two-party system is maintained and outsiders don’t threaten their control. What else is new?

      Rfk is not a dem. He should never have run dem. He’s a republican or libertarian, and also a plant just like Jill to steal votes from dems. Gtfo with that both sides shit.

        Yep. Only in his case, he was so obviously bonkers that he only appealed to Republicans who wanted a slightly different flavor of insanity from Trump, so pushing him was something of a foot-bullet.
