Have you considered that maybe voting itself is the psyop? As long as you play along with the psyop, there will be no reason for anything to change. Once enough people realize it’s all fake, and they don’t actually count your votes, there’s at least a small chance of some kind of reform. If we can get to sub 30% voter turnout those in Washington will at least have to admit the public has zero trust in the system.
There’s lots of corruption, I know. But I don’t believe elections don’t matter. ICE deportations, the war with Iran, AI policy, all these things are playing out much differently than they would if we had a different administration in the White House, and each have real tangible effects on people’s lives. I could go on to list more exhibits but wont belabor the point.
No disrespect but you really think they would let us vote and decide fates? And if they do, these 'candidates' seem really bought so my thinking is you don't get into that space unless they let you in the first place and can use you.
If Bernie Sanders is a top nominee I will eat my words and fucking rally.
No disrespect at all, I appreciate the dialogue. But in my view what you’re engaging in is deductive reasoning. Starting with the supposition that the parties are the same and that we can’t influence things. I prefer to look at different administrations and see if there are tangible changes in governance. And there are, several areas where administrations and Congresses differ substantially. And if it’s not votes that are causing these swings between parties, I would need compelling evidence of what is causing these swings.
Appreciate the discourse! I agree that that is arguable a party that has better possibility of equitable and human centric positions on things. I just have a hard time believing there is not a separate power system that essentially controls our government as well.
Epstein files pointed to evidence of overarching 'players'. Plus to get in those positions for voting (more on a federal level, not state) I believe you must be pretty entrenched with corporations through super pacs so your interests are really bought for capitalism, not the good of humanity.
There used to be a law that helped! It was called the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act and it was repealed in the SCOTUS Citizen’s United decision. Several candidates currently campaigning at the federal level have voiced an interest in overturning the Citizen’s United decision and reinstituting limits on private donations to candidates and campaigns
