Open AI stole all of our data to train their model. If this is true, no sympathy.

We need to get the entrenched old guard democrats out of power. They are controlled opposition just as beholden to the billionaires who pull Trump’s strings. We need new blood.

If you get all the levers of government under your control - you kind of become a king.

His Israel support is likely all bought by AIPAC money. Our system has to get campaign finance reformed so badly. Money in politics has destroyed this country and made every politician have to capitulate to their donors or face primary challengers who can out spend them. A good example is last election when these tech bros straight up crushed Sherrod Brown who was merely skeptical of crypto. It’s the biggest obstacle to change.

Billionaires engineered all of this. The whole stock price over innovation mindset was to extract American wealth and cripple American power. They want no power to exist that can reign in their own power. The battle for equity never ends. The billionaires and their ghouls never stop. Never trust the government to stay honest, we have to keep them honest.

While Trump is just selling the United States piece meal to the ultra wealthy and private equity and calling it “making America great again.”

The stock market is such a house of cards. So glad my retirement is in the hands of panicky reactionary gamblers.

No, it’s brain dead to think you can oppose a corrupt entrenched power structure by taking your ball and going home. Elections alone won’t fix shit. Sitting them out to let in MAGA fascism definitely isn’t going to do it. Change takes decades, but if you give power to the people who will oppress harder and more readily, you are just ensuring more people get hurt in the process. The democrats at least bow to pressure some. Trump wants to shoot protestors and made sure to appoint people down with that. So yeah, I’m blaming really naive voters along with blaming our corrupt system not offering better options. Hate to tell you, but life is more nuanced than straight good and evil.

Exactly. Why can’t people vote for the lesser evil in the short term and push for change after the election too. There was no scenario where the protest vote didn’t give us a far worse option. As bad as Biden was on Gaza, he capitulated more than Trump ever will. Plus, one issue voting is just an insane mindset in a winner take all electoral system like America.
