    Can’t say I’m surprised or even disappointed. It’s a social-democrat running through the D party proposing some reforms. It’s the bare minimum, and even if he was some sort of secret communist he would be expelled from the blue party very quickly if he had a good take there.

    On the other hand I still think he’s worth supporting critically over his proposed reforms, while criticizing harshly on his failures. NorthWesterners expect too much from electoralism and individuals and forget about parties.

    Why do you Americans do this to yourselves? It’s like you still believe the system is legitimate.

      alot of amercians seem to have this weird way of thinking where they think there ‘democracy’ is really an oligarchy but despite bieng that way since the foundatino of the nation is really just a product of a few bad choices or people.

      …Goddamn single topic motherfuckers… Where are those Epstein files?

      Yes. The single topic of genocide. GENOCIDE, MOTHERFUCKER. If you can’t see that, you’re no better than a rabid dog. Voting doesn’t do fucking anything. Also, the irony of lamenting single-topic bullshit while parroting the Epstein files line from Reddit.

        lol I love how they piss and moan about sINgLe ToPiC isSuEs and then go straight to talking about fuckin Epstein shit. Who. Cares. About. Epstein. The ruling class is never going to act on that shit because they’re all-in on it. It literally is just politainment. Anyone who is still closely following the Epstein shit as if anything will come of it is a fool, sorry.

          Following the Epstein stuff is a good way to break the electoralism brain. If all your politicians are sneaking off to Little St James and they’re all blackmailed by the CIA and the Mossad, suddenly it seems extremely silly to try to solve political problems by voooooting. Clearly it’s not working!

      It’s best not to buy into a false dichotomy and consider why liberal democracies aren’t democracies for most people around the world including the US (ie the limits of political electoralism).
