Meanwhile, someone like mayor Pete is what the establishment is looking for.
Even his sort of political base, the status of the economy, could very well turn against him in the future, and yet he's being handed the win.
Because of this trade war shit
This is why I hate politics
And yet I promised myself to pay attention about a decade ago. Sometimes I wonder if im better off ignorant of politics
I think this is the best political system for the people, but boy does it have it's faults. Most of the bullshit happening in congress, for instance, could probably be rectified by having limited congressional terms.
Why the fuck do we not have that?
Yeah right?
Probably because I seen how the Sheep will get steered around whatever their political persuasion.
Much as I hate it, I hate being them even more.
True to an extent, but on the plus side a majority of the public distrusts politics and the media coverage on it. Most people at least know theres something up.
Maybe the voting public will study and vet their candidates then. We are part of the problem after all
Yeah, and better yet steer more towards the moderate center rather than extreme fringes of the parties so that we don't get these types of candidates in the first place. The Democrats especially need to work on this, the push towards far left policies is what drove me out of the party and closer to the center in 2016 (which, interestingly is actually closer to the center republicans today than the democrats, as they've become a lot more moderate recently) although I remain unaligned to either party because fuck the party system
Ok two things to fix our political system; no parties like what we have today, and congressional term limits.
It's not very representative of the country either, the 2 party system.
Yeah, it kind of forces the public to choose essentially just two options. If the parties weren't the clusterfucks that they were today and were actually decent then I would be relatively fine with this, but it's a problem
Choosing between the lesser of two evils, that got old the first time I voted.
The voting itself and the electoral college themselves though I'm generally fine with, it's constitutional and is good in theory (preventing outright mob rule and all), it's just that the candidates and parties going *through* this need to be better.
Eh
Hopefully the Epstein case will involve all these politicians so we can clear house<:laugh:583238348077006869>
Failure to step out of our preferred tribe, is what allows this system to persist.
And mixing religion so heavily with politics doesn't help, but that's its own discussion
Joking, of course, but seriously this Epstein case could actually be pretty huge
What has a number of people involved, we'll probably hear more the dirty details on what those guards did
Oh yeah religion outside of basic moral points has no place in politics itself
Also yeah, that's why I'm a centrist
centrists rise up
<:haha:583236087137435659>
noods
Oh yeah the guards denied a plea deal that forced themselves to "admit" they didn't check on him for an extended period of time
And were arrested
Did I hear epstein ????
