it's your own responsibility to educate yourself on anything; especially when it comes to voting since coverage showing you what to vote for comes with a profit-centered agenda behind it.

our system has mastered the ability to keep people uneducated and that's the reason why we have trump now and will descend further into fascism; say something the next time someone tells you that they "don't like politics" or "don't like math".

so did i the first time he got cockblocked and regret it.

also, the only people to blame for only having two viable parties are the american people. living, breathing examples like mexico and sheinbaum prove that going third party makes things better, but only if voters stop unquestionably swallowing the propaganda that there are only two viable parties; or atleast that's true until the american empire forces a regime change upon mexico... again.

takes like this are the reason why schumer is going to keep this job until he decides to retire or start working for aipac

The fact that it happened twice and will happen against despite whatever he and AOC are trying to do are the clearest indicator of this symptom.

sometimes i wonder if the civil rights movement and socialism movements during the depression are the closest that this country will ever come to honoring the declaration of independence's preamble, given that energy that sustained both historical movements have been so effectively co-opted and diminished by the center-right political party called the Democrats; that americans today are barely aware that they happened at all and even then only a w whitewashed version of MLK jr with next to nothing about malcom x or the black panthers.

watching bernie and aoc repeat this history in sapping this energy again while ushering voters back into the democratic party's fold despite the democrats doing little more than token resistance to trump and our slide into fascism makes me pessimistic that we will ever reach a true state of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

i predict that the american gov't is going to bail them out like they did gm and chrysler.

People willingly choosing to live in 1984 when they don't have to seems to be a thing for Americans.

why stay on reddit when they don't let you state the obvious?

I don't believe that either Bernie nor AOC are pissing off the Democratic leadership. I believe that the democratic leadership is letting them proselytize voters back into the democratic fold so that the leadership doesn't have to adapt or change in any meaningful way.

it's simple: they either vote blue or they don't vote
