Just get rid of the electoral college already and stop giving these dipshit minorities a chance in hell of moving this country backwards.

So what’s the plan to change it? All I have heard proposed is don’t vote or vote third party. No third party is remotely close to having a real shot in the near term. I am disappointed in Biden on some things like Palestine, but what are my options in the near term? We need to build a progressive grass roots party but that takes time, money, and a lot of work no one seems to want to do. Protests are a path but not one that seems to be making enough impact. I hear so much negativity like this but it seems to all point towards options that won’t fix the issue. Getting Trump back will set back progressive movements drastically with the rights hold on the courts and the house. Biden has done some compromise to the left at least. We need a real path to change and it’s got to be a long term plan because democracies move slowly.

Have you ever even been in a system with three or more party rule? They rarely have a majority. They typically have to form coalition governments with other parties. Democracies are compromise. It’s never one party elected and everything just changes. That only happens in authoritarian systems and LOTS of people are murdered to accomplish this. FDR had 4 terms and didn’t get half of what he fought for accomplished with some of the highest approval ratings ever. It took the right 50+ years of dismantling power structures to get us here.

Russian, Chinese, and North Korean troll farms are at all time highs. They parrot and amplify any existing criticism till it’s all you see. This is far more than organic descent.

Defense Industry enters the chat

If the bad guy suddenly tries to start being the good guy, good guys tend to be skeptical. Seems legit.

Sadly, the way the electoral college works, they only have to convince a few thousand people in key states and it could swing things hard. Trump has a basically bulletproof lock on his base, so this kind of Biden bashing is only going to pick up to try to sway people who likely aren’t paying that much attention. The right is throwing everything they can at this election. It’s worse than 2016 when Trump was a wild card. They are more organized and dangerous this time.

It’s because they are righties posing as lefties or straight up from troll farms. The billionaire class along with Russia and China - all have a vested interest in seeing Biden fail. Trump serves their interests.

You equate rich as better. You sound like quite the sycophant. Enjoy that.

You obviously don’t hang with many rich people. They are regular people. They aren’t special, they just hit the right set of circumstances. Most of the smartest and hardest working people I know are actually not the richest. Capitalism doesn’t reward intelligence or hard work per se. It rewards accumulation of capital which has much more to do with circumstance, investment, and manipulation.

The powerful rich are always pushing for the closest thing to slavery they can get away with.

Not to mention it’s hard to get a job or apartment fresh out of prison. Which is why recidivism is 80%+ in the US. You get paid pennies an hour for the work you do inside then get released with almost no money to start over. It’s a vicious cycle.

How do they think these record profits will sustain if they keeps taking every last dime from workers? Oh ya, they don’t think, they are just mindless greedy leeches. They’ll just suck till they get crushed like any other parasite.

A high end camera and install might cost $1,000. Not exactly enough to cover “raises.” More than likely it will be a $100 shitty wi-fi camera. This is such bull shit.

The powerful are shit human beings because shit human beings seek power over others for their own gratification. All of human history the worst people have plotted and killed their way to the top. Capitalism tries to harness that greed but it doesn’t work. Systems need to punish our worst natures, not reward them.

IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN USED TO MANIPULATE PEOPLE! That’s all it has ever been. It’s used to hold power over people by preying on their fear of the unknown.

Then when they finally are forced to pay, they’ll move it out of the country and leave us with the austerity from all their handouts. The monetary system is international now and there needs to be a universal flat tax. Tax havens have to die.

De-centralization and open source was always the better way. Technology started on this path and the corporate powers have done everything they can to sabotage and destroy open tech.
