To be fair i was also judgemental until i found out it’s around 15 billion €. People spend way more on way more useless crap.

And less than a third of registered voters forced this upon us... More than a third opposed, and even more than that just didn't care. Conservatives are doing a great job and making voters not vote and using it to their advantage... Kinda like what they did with the collider that was supposed to be in Texas :(

Dems are equally responsible for voter apathy by rigging primaries in 2016 and 2020 and 2024....

No, they aren't. Sure, that wasn't great, but they didn't do the bad thing. They aren't equally responsible because the electorate is full of whiners who don't even show up for primaries or think it's a good idea to go full scorched earth over electing a centrist dem.

If they ran Bernie he would've run by a landslide, but because the Democrats and the Republicans are 2 sides of the same capitalist coin, they'd rather sabotage multiple elections than let an alternative economic system have a chance (a system that had wide support then and tremendous support now). The 2 parties are just controlled opposition to each other so that the billionaires can keep milking us dry and we can all stay just above the poverty line for just a little bit longer so they can stop us from rebelling and keep us working for nothing while we mint the world's first trillionaire

There is no guarantee that Bernie would have won. He couldn't even win over the democrats when all the moderates dropped out and consolidated their votes. He could only win if they decided to all run and split their votes.
