I’ll give it a shot. The location of the property owned by the 1% is irrelevant. Left/right politics are a construct to keep the masses angry at each other, and keep the focus off of the super-rich and corrupt politicians, who are the real problem.
It doesn’t matter which civilians have guns, because violence isn’t going to fix this.
Voting can fix this, both voting with your dollars (never order from Amazon, for example) and with your vote. For example, if we keep the republicans out of federal government, they cannot continue to fuck over 99% of the population for personal gain. Then perhaps at some point down the line, the republican party will either reform to actually represent fiscal conservativism, or die out and be relaced by something that actually represents it’s voters instead of gaslighting them.
Just to be absolutely clear, I am not catagorically against the republican party. The corruption is evident on both sides. But the republican party has been making horrendous policies since regan was in office, the party cannot be trusted with running this country right now.
Major reforms are needed, and the only party that will enact them (flawed as they may be) are the democrats. But to do that they need control of all three branches of the federal government at once to do so.
That’s slowly changing though, as the enschittification of windows continues. They may not care to know about the details, but all of those points do fall under the “it just works” catagory. And they do care about that.
This is exactly what they want you to think. But the republican party is almost at the point where they can’t win a national election even WITH all thier gerrymandering and misinformation. 2024 may be the last election where they even stand a chance.
The ultra-rich want you to believe that it’s hopeless, but it is far from it. Their only options now are to create a dictatorship or give up political power to the left, who (however flawed) actually represent the people.
I’ve been meaning to try this out. As a big fan of the neverwinter nights community, and someone who played rhe original WAY to much, it’s just to tantalizing.
It’s not about support. It’s not about 100% agreement with Biden’s policies. It’s about using your vote as a tactical choice to influece the government as best you can.
Each US citizen has three options: vote for Trump, vote for Biden, or don’t vote. For me it’s clear what the only viable choice is.
By all means protest. By all means vote undecided in the primary. Of course we should use other means to put pressure on someone like Biden to change his policies. But at the end of the day he’s playing the tactical game too. And so is Israel, btw. They know that the US is weakened by the election cycle, that Biden’s hands are tied right now by the need to retain centrist votes.
It’s a practical decision, that should be made not based on an ideal world, but based on the real world in which we currently live and the options we actually have.
