Why a second Trump term is a mortal threat to democracy — though perhaps not the way you think.

    I am not voting for genocide either way. If things are as critical as Democrats claim -they are lying- they would have stopped the genocide but they didn’t care enough to stop it.

    Sorry, you can’t kill something that doesn’t exist in the first place.

    What do our findings say about democracy in America? They certainly constitute troubling news for advocates of “populistic” democracy, who want governments to respond primarily or exclusively to the policy preferences of their citizens. In the United States, our findings indicate, the majority does not rule—at least not in the causal sense of actually determining policy outcomes. When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites or with organized interests, they generally lose. Moreover, because of the strong status quo bias built into the U.S. political system, even when fairly large majorities of Americans favor policy change, they generally do not get it.

    And BlackRock ECO just came out and openly said that it ‘doesn’t matter’ who wins US election; Trump & Kamala benefit Wall Street

    People acting like there is some big difference between two parties who both represent the dictatorship of capital are ignorant beyond belief.

    Democrats probably should do something about First Past The Post voting in states they control then.

    Literally the nation on the line, why *wouldn’t * you have multiple political parties competing to beat the Republicans? Why wouldn’t you want more then one chance to defeat the republicans?

    The only logical answer is that having the nation fall to authoritarianism is preferable to Democrats then having to compete for your vote.

    Party over country, vain in every way possible, arrogance that runs so deep it is a festering mortal wound.
