    That’s why I quoted the exact part that was the pretty much the definition of fascism, ending elections.

      How the fuck did you get that from that? They weren’t saying to end elections, just that they’ve got very little power in today’s climate where the entire worlds rule of law is dictated by a small percentage of publicly traded hedge funds and companies.

      The right globally has been dismantling all the progress we’ve made since the 70s in a fuckton of issues.

      When a single representative of a company can sit with elected officials in a private setting and influence the law to favor industry over individual, elections really do mean shit. We’ve got to reinforce them. This starts with ending the power of the ogliarchs and rewriting shit on our terms.
