For decades people have proclaimed that we can fix things in the next election...but that has never happened in all of my existence and do not expected to happen in my life time. It's pure carrot chasing

> For decades people have proclaimed that we can fix things in the next election

The secret of modern democracy is figuring out 2/4 years is how long it takes for people to forget the electoral promises that weren’t delivered upon.

But hey, next time my party is going to fix the economy, housing and corruption! Just remember to vote!

I still wonder how many elections does it take for one to see the farce of it.

But we were fixing things under Biden. The frozen potato cartel was defeated in court and Google was defeated in court as an illegal monopoly.

Then the Trump Administration came in (likely after donations from Google, and other tech bros) and suddenly that Google case was dropped.

Regulating against awful behaviors was happening under Biden, and no longer is happening under Trump. It's about as simple as night and day if you are paying attention.

What changes now is that historically, tech firms were largely apolitical. Today they are hard right support, so Democrats weren't used to memes or lack of free viral marketing (etc etc.)

Today, Democrats are finally waking up to the fact that they are being suppressed by both national media and tech media (Twitter and Facebook) and have begun gaining alternative means of getting their messaging out.

Things have gotten worse, but that causes the strategies to shift and the overall political fight to grow stronger.
