Exactly right. I always try to tell people both parties are total freaks who don't give a damn about the public. For the sake of the next 4 years, we do have to pick which one we think might not be worse. But at all times we must somehow push for an entirely better system. How? Uhhhh....no idea. I guess make people aware how both parties are crooked freaks, then go from there."An unconscious people, an indoctrinated people, a people fed only partisan information and opinion that confirm their own bias, a people made morbidly obese in mind and spirit by the junk food of propaganda, is less inclined to put up a fight, ask questions and be skeptical. That kind of orthodoxy can kill a democracy - or worse." - Bill Moyers
Somehow the United States has managed to pick its two least self-aware, sensitive, erudite septuagenarians to run for president this cycle.
And the American people–by and large–are so dumbed down by a dumbed down culture and a dumbed down media that they cannot recognize these treacherous weasels for the traitors that they are.
Therefore, the upcoming November 3rd elections in the U.S. are almost irrelevant, since both of the candidates are about equally disgusting. America’s problems are deeper than just the two stooges that America’s aristocracy hires to front for it at the ballot-boxes.
A political system that is structurally incapable of acting for the common good, even when millions of lives are at stake, is not just failing to solve our problems. It is the problem. Hopefully, as we struggle to emerge from today’s tragic pandemic, more and more Americans are understanding that healing our sick, corrupt political system is the vital key to a healthy and peaceful future.
