Related: Robert Reich posted earlier today that Tesla paid ZERO taxes on $5 billion in sales (earnings?), so that’s just fucking great.

But you know, both sides are the same, right?

[-] OshagHennessey@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

Correct. Their donors allowed only a temporary, token gesture they knew could be immediately undone.

Dems get to look like they did something, Rs get to look like they did something, no actual progress is made, and the march of tyranny continues.

Material facts are never inconvenient for those seeking truth.

Whom appointed you the fairy godfather of the democratic party by the way? Convinced if only everyone believed harder the democrats would win!

Quite pathetic, especially given you stalk the same people online for months to make trolling points as such.

I don't stalk shit Hector, you're just chronically online with garbage takes and I can read usernames. You are not remotely special enough to follow around, you're just another bot carrying water for Russia.

Yeah, dont you just hate it when those pesky workers expect a government that represents their interests? Can't they just accept the two parties that are captured by the same corporate interests and be happy? The nerve of them...

But it wouldn't have been reversed if people voted for Democrats. So you'd get something out of it instead of getting something negative (reversing it and going long ways the other way

Yeah, and maybe people would vote for Democrats if they'd represent our interests. Instead, all we get is "we need something to campaign on next election" until people get fed up and elect Republicans who undo everything the Democrats did and the cycle starts over again.

The system never progresses, the people never learn, and corporate interests reign supreme another election cycle.

As long as we have two parties working together to further corporate interests, nothing will change, which is why we need 5-6 political parties, ranked choice voting, and a constitutional amendment to repeal Citizens United.
