This is so fucking cringe. wtf is wrong with our society right now? What the actual fuck?
You can get away with allot when you have the right bread and circuses (or religion) going on.
I remember decades ago, when Reagan started defunding cheap/free education. Felt like a "long plan" move back then, and seeing what I see now, I think it was.
To be fair though, the "Champions of The Middle Class^TM^" party is too busy doing fellatio to their rich donor base to win the right votes.
Would help if everybody voted, and not just 63.9%.

This assumption that everyone who doesnt vote would have voted Democrat if they voted always baffled me.
Actually, I would want/expect everybody to vote for whomever they wanted to, Democratic, Republican, Green, Independent, etc. etc.
My saying what I said is to opine that we need an accurate count/evaluation of what the WHOLE country thinks, and not 60ish% of it. And something tells me that if everybody voted, we wouldn't have a 49/49/2% pattern of the choosing who would lead.
