    a lot of people myself believe that democrats at this point are as much part of the problem, they do what the lobbyist and ultrarich want and totally ignore the voters.

    so why fight half the country to only replace trump with a scum like schumer ?

    if dnc was worth voting for then trump would never got elected. instead we have gotten lesser evil junk from them for 3 election in a row, the lesser evil that shamelessly funded a genocide when people have been struggling to buy groceries.

      Even if we accept that voting third party is futile we then need to accept that the democratic party leadership needs to be completely purged. But any criticism of the leadership then gets met with “why do you support Trump?”.

      There are lots of threads that make up this tapestry of shit.

      • Aipac
      • Citizens United v. FEC
      • Corporatism
      • Regulatory Capture
      • High campaign cost
      • 2 party system
      • Military Industrial Complex

      But it seems we could cut (or at least weaken) them all at once by banning lobbying.
