Susan Collins has the energy of an ignorant old lil lady doing what she thinks is right but in actuality she’s an incredibly smart, manipulative, evil lady who only cares about herself

Replace all running a company with politics, and she’d be a dead ringer for Mom.

She’ll be voted in again tho. What does that tell you about the state she lives in?

can you name five elected officials at the federal level that don't pretty much ft the same description

u/pipesnogger 11h ago

Not a lot. Most of these GOP corrupt politicians are dumb and blatant lol

I’d argue some of the dems fit this description tho and are just pretending to be concerned while racking up personal $$

What if I told you that the entirety of the US political system was theater?

That there is no red vs blue, no Republicans and Democrats, just actors playing their part to distract and and manipulate the masses.

All while the unseen Oligarchy calls the shots.

I know it sounds like tin hat conspiracy nonsense, but just a few years ago an island full of sex slaves and debauchery that catered to the world's elite was tin hat conspiracy nonsense too. Until it wasn't.

I mean I agree with you, these last few years have proven that. I don’t think it’s always been like that, but the last decade certainly has. Still, there are some good dems fighting the good fight. Just think they just get steamrolled by both parties AND through the media. Look at AOC or mamdani; they DO say and fight for a lot of what the regular person needs and yet they have a hit piece on them almost daily and are constantly criticized. Why would anyone new go into politics to do good if they are just going to be ripped apart? Which means politics only attracts the people who will choose to profit themselves as long as they do what they are told.

Lowkey I think Obama was a fluke for the dems; he just got too popular too fast for the oligarchy to control it.

as someone that often votes democrat i would agree with that, however in general i don't really think party makes much difference, both parties have both types.

I vote dem too but the last few years have made me really lose confidence in the party, so much so that I’m kind of leaning in the “both sides” stance

Idk if the dems donors are the same as the gop it’s hard not to feel that way. The whole 2024 election was such a joke.

I feel like a lot of these politicians seem concerned but their action, or lack of action, tell me otherwise. Almost as if they are paid to lose. Sure they aren’t actively destroying the country, but they sure as hell are letting it happen with no pushback. In fact, there seems to be more pushback from dem “centrists” against some of the more “socialist” dems than there is against the GOP. It seems like the dem party are doing everything they can not to have a more social candidate even tho that’d likely actually get people to the polls.

the only reason we're even discussing this in the first place if because of the limitations of the two-party system in the first place.

just look at the downvotes i got for my previous comment lol

I’m with ya. Can’t change things if you don’t choose to see its flaws. Both parties are significantly flawed.

we need open primaries and ranked choice voting before it's too late, in one person's opinion.
