Capitalism was the system of economics from the get go. This allows people who want power (money) to be able to obtain it ad infinitum, which leads to corruption being possible since politicians can be bought.

Ah, I thought you were talking about the concept of electoral politics in general and not this specific moment in the US.

How can they learn what they already knew? The weakness/corruption/etc. is on purpose to serve their donors. The DNC already knows how powerful a leftist, grassroots movement is, which is why they snub the lefty candidate at every chance instead of letting their namesake run its course.

At least two governments in the world are at least attempting to hold their leaders somewhat accountable (the other being Korea).

I wish Israel would also be trying him for war crimes and join the ICC, but that’s a tall dream.

Maybe in our current state, where corruption can occur, but in a new, more democratic system where corruption can’t occur because no single person will have enough wealth or the financial incentive to be able to buy politicians.

The problem isn’t electoral politics, but that we don’t live in a democracy.

You don’t even have to join. ICE wears plainclothes, drives unmarked vehicles, wears masks, and never shows their badge. Anyone can be ICE.

The Democratic party has always just been another branch of the wealthy. Neoliberalism is a cancer that really kicked into gear when Heritage Foundation-backed president Ronald Reagan came into office. Obama (I believe in his second term) said that back in the 80s, he would have been considered a moderate Republican.

500% isn’t nearly high enough. We need every single person everywhere fighting against these gangster, white supremacist thugs.

That assumes that Trump doesn’t invoke Martial Law and suspend elections.

You know, that thing that the GOP screamed Obama would do. They’re known for massive amounts of projection, after all.

Pork riders? In this congress? Unheard of!

This is on purpose. Republicans want all of government to fail so that they and their rich friends can buy everything up and privatize it.

I’m down for the entire government stepping down.

Same thing they’ve always done: nothing.

He said that in the same tweet that he announced the US attacked Iran.

It wasn’t before already?

Too close to his birthday /s

I wonder if they ever read the bible.

Or Obama
