For some of us, the 2016 Democratic primary was quite illuminating. I'm glad to see people are catching up finally.

It's like the second you notice parallels in our two party system, they misrepresent you as saying they are EXACTLY the same in EVERY REGARD.

Meanwhile, we no longer question why we only have two parties to vote for in the first place. Hint: the two parties keep it that way.

American Progressives party, anybody? Not sure how we get on ballots, though. Give me a game plan and I'll start working.

the poorest most easily manipulated people

The people who would benefit the most from Democrat-championed social programs that they now label as "radical" and "socialist" you mean?*

 

*Which is not some blanket endorsement of Democrats. A lot of them are also out of touch, too conservative, and still trying to run the country like it's 1952. I'm eagerly awaiting the rise of a viable 3rd party (but after all these decades I'm not really holding my breath) or the implosion of the Democrats. I was aghast that Trump somehow pulled them right instead of left, but maybe it will result in an implosion from which Bernie, AOC, Jasmine Crockett and such can bring a phoenix out of the ashes.

You are right.

It's like how Disney makes a big deal about being progressive while making a movie about a space cop who uses her weapons to intimidate indigenous populations.

Follow the money, perhaps? Cui bono

It would be absolutely hilarious if Musk actually set up his own party, financed it all the way to the Congress, got offended because people didn't lick is arse deep enough, got kicked out for being annoying and accidentally created an actual pro-people alternative to all these corporate vampires.

Heh. Prior to this year I could not have believe such a thing was even possible. But this year...
