People are sleeping under bridges while they work 40hrs a week... Wtf did you people vote for? I famously abstained entirely for lack of a quality candidate. I'd vote for myself, but I won't be responsible for their shit cannery.

Fuck the military complex of this species. I'm gonna build my own aerospace company, mine the asteroid belt, and build my own human habitat. With black jack... And hookers... And universal healthcare...
Men's mental health is more important than women's feelings.
If you give up and vote for Democrats or Republican's: -you are voting for putting people in prison for marijuana. -You are voting for a party that will pretend to care only to watch key legislation die because 2 senators said "no", despite being from the party that claimed to want the change. -You vote for 2 more years of a locked government. There is no solution to the problems the 2 parties have created by voting for either of them. Nothing ever gets permanently better under either Democrat or Republican. They are the problem. -Don't use Geordi to support your ruling class. Geordi comes from a world that got rid of boomer parties and they run the freaking galaxy.
Picture if you will; a large government where checks and balances are out the window. A 2 party system co opted by a single force, where both sides are working towards a common goal, but they mask it with temporary solutions, they do this to keep the general populace too worried about paying bills than to concern themselves with something that doesn't really impact them like government corruption. Within this system you have pillars of control, the police, militias, and military. The single entity deeply entwined with both political parties is feeding select agents into police forces, militias, and any military unit they can get assigned to. They do this to identify like minded individuals, individuals vulnerable to becoming an agent, and individuals that stand in the way. They plan over decades and decades making tiny advancements whenever the chance arises, a lever with constant pressure that takes any extra room available. The single entities end goal being to subvert the government, pass a single law, or series of laws with convoluted wording, and install some form of social system that kept just enough people comfortable that there isn't enough rocking the boat, and installs themselves as either shadow, or public defacto leader. They need large number of police on their side to quell potential rioting, and military to keep allies at bay while the power transfer is completed. They have just been looking for the right person to force their hand long enough they feel complicit, and go along in the form of becoming an officially elected emperor, or empress. What would that look like? One party throwing siege hiels, while the other forces out a career politician to force in a district attorney that does what she's told? Or would it look like white police brutalizing black people as a way of identifying who is safe to keep around? Would it look like supreme court justices granting themselves immunity to bribery? Or the same supreme court granting the president the power to do whatever so long as the president claims it was done for the country? Emperor Napoleon style. Can you picture it? What would it look like to you?
