This entire thread is amusing.
Do you not realize we are living in a plutocracy and have been for many decades now, whether we’ve been under a Republican puppet for Wall Street/Tech, or a Democratic one? This is why nothing has changed in 30 years, except the rich get richer, the wages of everyone else stagnate, and our national debt skyrockets.
The 1% are laughing their heads off. Let them eat cake! Let them fight over cake crumbs and argue over chocolate and vanilla cake, so long as it distracts them from realizing we own the bakery and their beloved “capitalism” morphed into something unrecognizable many years ago. Bail outs, tax cuts, stimulus—all of it has only made the 1% richer.
Every 4 or 8 years or so, the working class determines who wins the election, and they swing back and forth between backing Republicans or Democrats, based on whose empty promises they think will finally help them. But—spoiler alert!—NONE OF THEM DO.
