| Well, when the rich control both sides and both sides conspire to create drama to continue to control the country as they want....can't really do much. This country is done for. |

| ▲ | csoups14 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | The rich being in control of both sides does not make both sides equivalent when it comes to impacts on the commoner. The country is done for in large part because too many apathetic people are unable to discern very real differences in their political options, and instead of participating, you eject and poison the well on the way out which is exactly what the "rich" want you to do. You're not high-minded for your stance, you haven't figured out some secret, you're quite literally playing into their hand. Go vote in a Democratic primary and do something useful with yourself. | | | |

If you seriously think Biden was the same as Trump (or Harris would have been worse than Trump) you need a lobotomy (as at least a refresher high school civics course). Seriously, it was (almost) all spelled out in Project 2025. That's what the country wanted and that's what we got/are getting. I hate it, but apparently 51% of voters disagree with me. |

| I voted for the only candidate (Chase Oliver) that appeared on my ballot that was basically 100% certain to not get us into wars, and I've had absolute vitriol spewed at me (including here on HN) because I was informed it was a default to Trump. There's no way to act where you won't be hated by someone. Even if you stop paying taxes for the bombs someone will scream that you hate old people or the children. |

| ▲ | phainopepla2 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Only about 20% of Americans live in swing states. So for 80% of Americans, idealism is for the general as well. Or at least it could be | | | |
