politics

Lol that shit was wild.

I remember when they were all standing behind podiums on TV and instead pushing back against Bernie being like "Yo y don't we have healthcare" they just criticized the bigger evil instead to make themselves look progressive in comparison.

Where have we seen that before?

Lmao check this shit Politico was putting out: Politico: Thank you, Mike Bloomberg, for rescuing the debate

Why am I talking about the 2020 Primary? Because for me this was the moment I stopped believing in western electoralism. The way both Corbyn and Sanders were treated by their own parties for such mild leftism proved to me without a shadow of a doubt that both major parties are so interested in maintaining capitalism that they would do anything to crush even moderate progressives and leftists from straying too far from the right.

I'd always had my suspicions, but that's when it fully cemented to me that "Oh, the west isn't a democracy, whoever gets to run is completely decided by the two major parties that are both capitalist extremists. Even minor good things will never happen while they still exist to kill it before it hatches."
