      Yeah, the article basically calls both political parties a bunch of evil idiotic pricks. Which is pretty fucking accurate, but nobody seems to want to acknowledge this, even here on Lemmy

        Show me a political group worth backing and I will listen. Otherwise you are yelling at clouds. We acknowledge, we see no alternatives. Over throw the government, hell yeah sounds punk rock but what replaces it? A bunch of dungeon dweebs with zero understanding of global politics. Some Christo fascist extremist group that would start and lose a civil war with anyone non white. A far left progressive group that doesn’t understand how the American threat of violence is the only commodity keeping the US from being a third world country. There is a reason we spend the money we do on our military, its why Israel is our Middle East enforcers, it’s why we have to back Ukraine no matter what. It’s why the 2 parties are essentially the same.

        Both political parties are a bunch of evil idiotic pricks. Each major party is the party of corporate influence. One is slightly more overt and explicit in their intention but it’s not enough of a distinction to make identifying them worthwhile.

        Okay, I acknowledged it. Now what?

            To be replaced with what? You have a military backed group able to hold power and enforce true democracy or whatever that can’t be corrupted to the same ends sitting in the sidelines? If so I’m down.

              Consider reading The State and Revolution. The people run the new government as an “administration of things,” and not as career parliamentarianism. Units democratically decide things, and send delegates for higher units that decide things relating to multiple units, with instant recall elections.

      More evidence of Dem voters getting radicalized by their “unbiased” media. these cats are the ones trudging blindly behind their party’s frog-march rightward

      The blue MAGA mass downvoters on here are a real problem for the platform. I don’t even get the point of it. I think they think that any disagreement from the party line leads to the DNC failing because it’s like Tinkerbell, and only kept alive by belief and clapping, not just a deeply corrupt neoliberal party in need of reform, that is terribly underperforming in only managing 50-50 while the GOP self-destructs.
