If I made a new thread everytime biden does something dumb

It's all for show. Democrats and republicans are all on the same team.

There are plenty people qualified to run the country and are willing and able to do it, but the establishment keeps them from getting ahead. They own the media, they pay the news companies, and they don't care about the people they govern as long as they're working.

The united states needs a riot.

Tulsi endorsing Biden was one of the biggest cockslaps the establishment as pulled, considering her entire campaign was anti-establishment up until the moment she dropped out. I really liked her too, but somehow there's some dark dealing in the background that convinced her to fold.

I lean pretty far to the left when it comes to politics. Why then am I looking forward to Trump absolutely wiping the floor with Biden when the debates come around? I shouldn’t be eagerly awaiting that guaranteed mix of hearty laughs and soul-crushing facepalms, but I kind of am..

I guess the main reason is because the Democratic Party is so overbloated and festering with corruption. Their attempts to subvert the will of the people using the old “wolf in sheep’s clothing” method is just so much more disgusting than owning what they are, as the Republican Party does.

I mean, don’t get me wrong, I disagree with most Republican positions, but the “Party Democrats” or “Corporate Dems” or whatever you want to call them actually want the same policies as the right wing: super low corporate tax rate, high military budget, old-world stance on most social issues, not much mind paid to worker’s rights, etc - The big difference is that the corporate dems lie to your face about how they actually want it. To me that is just so disgusting compared to being open about your stances, no matter what they may be.

The worst part is that these wolves use social issues and wedge issues to get support from low-information voters. They pay the most barebones of lip service to minority issues and things of that nature, with no intent to actually change things of course. Ostensibly left-leaning people just lap it up without question because they have the memory of a goldfish. It would be so great to see actual progress when it comes to social issues, but if you think the corporate “left” cares about that - yer crazy.

It would be so awesome if politics wasn’t purely decided by cash flow in the US. Then again I guess that would fundamentally not make it the US anymore. I’d love to see a legitimate left-wing party back home. The funny thing is, here in Australia, we actually do have smaller parties with at least some sway. We have the “mainstream” boring left-wing party (labour) and the boring right-wing party (liberal.. that’s right, liberal is right-wing here. Just to confuse everyone). However, we also have the more progressive party: the Greens, and there’s also a further-right party than the liberals (I think they’re called the “I hate immigrants” party or something).

Even though these more minor parties are unlikely to win - not to mention being pretty extreme on some issues - it’s nice to have a mix of parties which you can vote for to represent you. We also have preferential voting. Also there’s no electoral college bullshit. Hell, It’s almost like a democracy or something.. The US really should try that out some time. It’s not perfect, but it’s a helluva lot better than overt plutocracy.

Anyway, I’m just rambling at this point. In all honesty, what I’d really like to see is for the will of the people to be heard (literally all of Bernie’s positions poll well with Americans, from healthcare to education to criminal reform to social issues...) but since that will never happen, I’m looking forward to laughing at the big joke known as American politics boiled down to it’s purest form - two dementia-addled, corrupt, rich, old, out-of-touch, whitebread, socially conservative piece-of-shit losers arguing in a political pageant which means nothing and wherein the corporations always win at the expense of the common man. And let’s just be realistic here: Trump is a way better stage man with way better presence and comedic timing than Biden’s barely-sentient corpse. It’s going to be a fucking steamroller.

You have to laugh at it, because if it doesn’t make you laugh it’ll make you cry!
