    There are two types of politician.

    A representative and a politician.

    The former is usually of the working class and listens to their constituents, not corporations and donors. They’re usually more progressive, they call out capitalist BS and they want to deliver for the people they represent.

    The latter is only concerned about appeasing their donors. Some may be more evil than others about it, but they all love fascism as it helps them make more money.

    We have a 2 party system but we mostly have the latter. Terrorists on the far right and fascist sympathizers in the middle. Gotta love “vote blue no matter who” up until it’s someone trying to deliver for the people. They also love to yell and blame those who don’t vote or vote third party when their candidate couldn’t represent the people and it flips as soon as a progressive starts winning. Some even vote republican instead, fuckin wild.

    Make sure you vote for those who don’t take constitutionally protected free speech cough I mean money from PACs and large donors. Does anyone really believe they’ll represent you and not the couple of people giving them millions? It’s a flat out conflict of interest if I’ve ever seen one, but one many voters are happy to look past for some reason (lack of education and introspection).

      Nah, democrats are always going to leave us in the dust. They don’t need plants. We need young candidates that are actually popular and reflect our progressive views. We need to get these old pro frac anti lgbt dem fuckers out and more mamdanis in. Even if it’s just a starting point, build homes, shelters. Fuck what the republicans say. Fuck what some people say, they’ll be fucking fine with a homeless shelter near their house. This pearl clutching bullshit makes me so upset, and now dems are fully embracing it.
