    Do they have a problem with it?

    From the last three elections that have featured trump, it seems like the DNC loves fascism because it lets them run terrible candidates that spent decades trying to get to be president.

    It’s only worked 50% of the time, and a random candidate would easily win.

    So to me, it looks like the DNC was just waiting for a reason to run less popular and less progressive candidates.

    trump gives them an excuse to shout down anyone that wants to hold the DNC to any standard what so ever.

      We see the games they play and it appals us. Unfortunately it’s the only game in town. To change the game, you’re not only fighting the DNC and RNC, but network effect and inertia. And some of us don’t have the luxury to risk it. Even if it leads to a better world.

        To bring it back full circle:

        Poverty literally rewires our brains and makes us plan on very very short timescales.

        Feeling like you don’t have the luxury to plan ahead is both parties playing on normal human thinking to take advantage of you.

        They keep you poor, and you can’t see through their bullshit.

        Nothing will ever be fixed if we’re always ignoring the long-term and just taking any crumbs were offered now.

        We get the option of a shit sandwich or a single baloney sandwich a day.

        Obviously the bologna is better, but it’s not enough to live off of, we’re just going to starve slower.
