  • For me, it’s the fact that they’re unwilling to adopt these (clearly winning) political policies. Instead, they’d rather just suppress them.

    We’ve seen this strategy from all of the megacorps already: smother the small company that refuses to be bought out and then, after they’ve died, pick out the most recognizible bone from the corpse to parade around, despite the fact that the bone carries next to none of the meat people wanted.

    The problem is that the US political commission is framed as an electoral mandate to rule, instead of citizens electing someone based on their (perceived) ability to read their constituents’ wants. So most establishment politicians when faced with criticism act like “you crowned me king, so why are you complaining?” instead of thinking “okay, either I’ve misunderstood what you wanted me to do here or I’m not explaining how what I’m doing serves what you want.”

    At best, we get pacification, and hardly ever reconcilliation.







  • That’s because it wasn’t a real insurrection. It was a Trump-planned insurrection LARP that turned into a mob after all these noobs got too into it. They were organized and supposed to go in and out, making quick death threats at the Congresspeople who opposed Trump along the way. Showing “the public doesn’t agree with this” even if they didn’t manage to murder some enemies, instead it turned into memes and the collateral deaths.












  • These decrepit fucks think all “real” jobs are easy money, so of course they don’t care about making retirement a feasible option. They just fall asleep in an air-conditioned hall, rarely stirring awake to thoughtlessly vote down opportunities for citizens – young and old – to have a manageable life.

    If you forced some of these antedeluvian ulcers in our government’s guts to depend on the services they legislate on, then those services might actually become serviceable. Instead, they collect an easy paycheck until they die in-office. Using active office like it’s a pension.
