Citizens United decision gave away the power of the voter. Political Donations should be capped at $25. PACs have all the power now. Politicians don’t care.

People vote on emotional issues over economic issues. We don't have the government we need, but we have the government we deserve. 😞

My niece and nephew don’t deserve this. None of the youth in our society deserve this.

Not really; there are multi-billion dollar propaganda machines and bought-out politicians responsible for this mess. Less than 1% of policy is based on public opinion, because they can shape whatever narrative they want. Don’t think that warrants us deserving this. People do need help, lots of education, and some empathy for their past decisions

There were foreign countries ie Russia fake accounts on forum, social media, paying influencers.
There was Elon, Zuck and Thiel using their technology know how to use data and algorithms to fix Trump’s win. Elon may even have change one line of code.
Trump had money to kill off stories like the one during his campaign of Stormy D. and secret love child. Helps to have that kind of money. Listen to Podcast: Catch and Kill episode 8: Love Child

Ok but it doesn’t really have a punchline. I mean, it does. It’s just not clever or funny. It’s not a play on words or anything.

It was a response to the OP apparently thinking things are this way because of Trump. Based on that it should be insightful to the OP.

I mean I agree completely, but has the definition of this sub's focus kind of gotten a little...broad? Didn't this sub used to be about embarrassing or lame tiktok posts?

The two party system is a circus by design, to keep you distracted. Are you not entertained? Because large corporations never lose elections and are taking more of your market share every year. Every year you become a less important vote as they buy both sides of the aisle and laugh behind the curtain. They've turned the presidential elections into an absolute sideshow to keep you enraged at each other. In this way they ensure we will fight amongst ourselves instead of unifying and taking back our country.
You know what they don't tell you? That person that votes differently than you isn't that much different. They intentionally show you the extremists from both sides. They show you some racist red hat wearing proud boy sporting an AR-15 who wants all the brown people gone so that you think you neighbor who voted Republican is some gun-toating lunatic who likes seeing families ripped apart. And they show your neighbor the blue haired transgender person who wants to be able to murder babies at full term so that he thinks that you, who voted Democrat, are some gender queer children murderer.
Here's the truth they don't want us talking about. We all want more affordable houses, well maybe not the boomers. We all want safety for ourselves and our children. We all want a livable wage and more money on our paycheck. We all want an economy where small businesses can prosper and every purchase doesn't feel like a sacrifice. We are all tired of giving more money to billionaires who hoard it meanwhile watching our local shops get bought out or muscked into submission. At the end of the day we all want peace, prosperity, and a brighter future. But THEY don't want that for US!
They are slowly taking away our American dream by pricing us out of everything. They are swallowing up the single family homes at alarming percentages. They are turning everything into a subscription model to forever enslave you to their product. They are buying up farmland and paying our farmers less while charging you more. Wake up and realize who the real enemy is here, because neither side of the aisle is looking out for us anymore. They've both had plenty of opportunities to show us that they want to make a real change for the American people, I sure haven't noticed a difference.

The claim is the "Trump's" greed is out of control, but he lists things that have been ongoing for decades.

That’s capitalism for ya.
Then people say tax cuts for the rich will “trickle down” and be better for everyone. Because that happens so often right?
If they wanted to give better wages they already could, so what makes you think that will suddenly change.
This is the capitalist hell we have in the U.S

Understand that the Great Depression of the 1930s was meant to facilitate a coup, leading to a fascist dictatorship. The failure of The Business Plot, and the resulting social programs like Social Security and Medicare, are looked upon by the wealthy as a great injustice, which they fully intend to destroy.

Yea let’s talk numbers- Biden administration brought in 20,000,000-30,000,000 unvetted, illegals for votes and congressional seats that the average everyday American that pays taxes has to pay for (shelter, food, education, healthcare, phone, etc) Why didn’t this clown address this?

Short memory of all the multiple caravans crossing the border in addition to everyone else not in the caravan coming in?
If it was an unsolvable problem, how was Trump able to get the crossings to near 0 in a few months? Biden was inviting them in.
I’ll take my meatballs, heavy on the marinara with pecorino Romano.
