    Fetterman is just playing his part in all this kayfabe. Ever notice how there’s always just enough Democrats willing to cross the aisle to pass this garbage legislation? That’s because they want to make it appear as if there’s actual opposition to stuff like this when in reality this was the plan all along, they’re all in on it, and they’re just following the script.

    When Democrats have a majority, they flip it around and pretend like they always have to water all their bills down for ‘bipartisan support’ to the point of being completely ineffective so that they can keep us in our place while pretending to be heroes with victory just out of reach.

    Victory will always be just out of reach so long as Democrats and Republicans control congress. The ruling class is always looking out for their own best interests not the intrests of the American public.

      What I don’t love about this narrative is that it kinda implies that all Democrats are the same and in on this shit.

      There definitely are a lot of corpo Dems that are willing to bend the knee when called upon, but pretending literally all politicians are in on this level of conspiracy is basically giving up. Figure out which Dems reliably fuck up votes and focus some fucking energy on them.

      And then also focus on implementing something like Ranked Choice or Approval voting locally.

      Fucking damn it, I know there are some really shitty rich people right now being absolute wads, but don’t let your awareness of those shitty people make you think that everyone in the world is like that.

      Yep. Im often disappointed that covid wasnt more deadly because the only way to get change without full violent revolution would be catastrophic events that wipes out these institutions.

      The black death actually had a similar effect in Europe. Its awful. I know. But nature doesn’t discriminate in the same ways that humans do.

      What does it say about our world that the most realistic paths toward more equitable government is an asteroid, super volcano, or plague with 90% mortality rate?
