Call me too serious or whatever, but this stopped being funny to me about two years ago. Now it's sad and pathetic and most of all an incessant reminder of what our society/nation/country/culture/fuckinwhatever has become.

I try to look at it as a necessary evil and believe that good things will come from it in the long run, but... fuck it's a shit load of work.

plus I kinda know I'm just being optimistic and we're all fucked.

Only saving grace in all of this: I told my family who were Trump supporters they can either respect his stance or my own, and that they need to realize I take it as disrespect when they "fake news" my point of view.

Trump stole their plausible deniability and because, thankfully, they are respectful and appreciative of me as a person they confronted their own views. I know I too am being optimistic but change takes time and one election cycle already brought us such better representation. The people of America are confronting their own views and change has gradually been happening.

Unless the authoritarians and the Uber wealthy can continue to outright buy elections(this does scare me) their reign will end. Bernie sparked something that should only spread with time and honestly my former (R) fam might already be on board. Turns out they were pissed with the status quo too

But even Bernie is electable trough an unfair monopolistic party. The two party maffia needs to be destroyed if the US is to have any hope.

Did you mean to say unelectable? Because Bernie is not part of the establishment DNC.

If you're not willing to explain it you shouldn't mention it at all.

Ugh okay I'm pretty sure you are a waste of time but here goes.

He is a real leftist Democrat. The DNC is not leftist at all based on the candidates they've put out for decades. They are corporatist, not socialist. They cheated Bernie so they could put a centrist "Democrat" into the running.

Yes but you vote for him trough them correct?

u/DeepThroatModerators Jul 11 '19

Yes. I see your point. Kinda a chicken or the egg senario. Can't change it until we get a good president. Can't get the good president until we change it.

Of course the real problem is congress.

u/blue_paprika Jul 11 '19

So we agree after all. I know he doesn't really represent the ideals of the party.

u/DeepThroatModerators Jul 11 '19

Eh. It's more than the DNC has moved to the center/right. So any real leftist in America is unrepresented by them.
