Well sounds like the Democratic leadership to aggressively court disgruntled voters and listening and addressing their concerns is off to a great start with this.

    I used to think it was Russia that had infiltrated US politics. I mean it did, but Israel got there first.

          fair point. its the “royal we” where you are only a member insomuch as you have any role in actually operating or changing it. Collective responsibility is a slippery topic.

      The US also got there first. Sure there are outside forces acting on it but let’s be real, they have a lot more control over themselves than this and choose to be shit.

      Israel, Russia, Trendy Aqua, whatever. Ultimately the USA has failed to maintain its obligations to civil society, allowing those who operate the mechanisms of power and policy to be susceptible to such exploitation. Classic blunder.

      Yes but look at the long game. Imagine what happens when we lose relevance. It’ll be Israel vs Russia.
