    The same people who have historically bankrolled and controlled Republicans also run the Democrats. It’s kinda hard to “fight the system” when the oligarchs are the system.

      Then you would agree we should remove money from politics and…

      Oh! Whats this? The DNC passed campaign finance limits in 2002 which were overturned by the conservative SCOTUS in 2010 “Citizens United” decision? Huh, wow, thats crazy. Have any Dems talked about this recently? All of them? All the time? Neat.

        So what you are saying is that the oligarchs rule the system and your solution is to continue voting in that same system in which you are being ruled?

          You’re going to sit there and “both-sides” in the face of one side clearly fighting against oligarchy and one side clearly fighting for.

          You’re going to pretend its all the same while Republicans, who created a deficit by cutting taxes for the rich and only the rich, are tryng to pass a budget that will remove 79 Million citizens health coverage a d defund hospitals.

          You’re barely even human.

            The same socioeconomic class has been continuously the main benefactor of America economic policy for 50 years regardless of which party is in charge. Idk what more proof you require to accept the oligarchs run the system but you believe whatever you need to to make you feel safe and secure.
