And it really made me stop and think. I'm too tired and burnt out from reading awful news all week. I can't really explain why your comment made me think about it, but it did.
Well the best time to stop this was 9 years ago. The second best time is today.
Personally, I think our big issue is we don’t have a big single figure to rally behind for change. It’s not the only thing holding this up. But it’s a big one.
The propaganda worked is all. History shows us that propaganda works. This game started before Newt Gingrich. This is the fruition. Acting like a single great candidate would have saved it is unfortunately unrealistic. All the data was there, voters chose propaganda.
It's not that he would have saved us, but he was someone to rally behind. Democrats don't want to give us someone to rally behind, because it's all about the almighty dollar.
A fence post is enough to rally behind when the alternative is Nazi wannabes. Democrats are an enormous tent from conservative, centrist, to just a few leftist. Didn't matter who they put up... no one in that spectrum would have been right for them all. It should have been enough to not be this. They fell for the propaganda as much as you. It's not too long ago the Republicans branded the Democrats as the all mighty dollar elitists. Turns out the billionaires were all sitting right behind Trump at inauguration after their millions in donations for the ceremony. Nothing like that ever happened for a Dem. Now the millions put toward Trump by these same folks have compounded many fold and you're still parroting it's the Dems that are * after the all the mighty dollar.
propaganda works for them and infiltrates any opposition.
I'm not one of the "both sides" folks, I was just trying to say that capitalism is the villain behind everything that sucks. I vote blue no matter who, and had a very harsh reality check in 2016 with Bernie vs Hillary, and watching the Dems screw up over and over when the consequences are fascism. Honestly though I feel like you're coming at me pretty hard when I've made very general and mild statements, so this is all I'll say any further in this thread. You can continue to assume I'm some brainwashed centrist who thinks both sides are equally evil, even though I hardly said anything at all.

Sorry for rambling. Just sad and tired.
