It's funny how Jon Stewart can say the same things as Return2Ozma and the .world mod team doesn't remove the posts about it, or say Stewart handed the election. While he has infinitely more sway and influence than someone on a niche internet forum.
I'm amazed this post has stayed up from the same mods who banned R2O and others for saying the same thing.
I feel like the canary in a coal mine haha
They hated you for speaking the truth and when confronted with it again, they pretend they always listened.
What I don't understand is, if booger-eating MAGA could hijack the Republican party a decade ago, why are progressive grassroots still waiting for permission from Woodstock attendants?
because the republican party is relatively united in thought and desire and via who is paying them all off.
The democratic party is more akin to 35 parties in a trenchcoat all pretending to be one party, thanks entirely to the forced nature of the two party system our government has.
And a lot of those in seats of power in the DNC and Democratic Party have the same masters/paylords as the Republicans and want the Democratic party to be nothing more than controlled opposition.
Firebrands like AOC and Bernie tend to get elected by accident, instead of by purpose, in the grand scheme.
There was a lot of money behind the tea party and then maga takeover. Its just not there the same way for the progressive since the billionaires are all on the other side or not getting heavily involved.
MAGA did it from the top down. Trump became president and was able to strong arm people below him. He was even able to switch the RNC chair to a family member.
People get too deep into conspiracy theories. Establishment politics is problematic but I think people need to engage with how things actually work.
The rich and powerful are going to petition the government and the government will have some corruption. So the how is important because it informs how we put them back in their box.
