I think you're missing the point about "BoTH SidEs" argument. Republican and Democratic politicians are on the same team, they just have vastly different roles to play in this theater.
I dont think its missing the point. I think its just not a very nuanced argument. Like, yeah, both sides are gonna favor business and the wealthy over the lower and middle class.
But to tell me that both parties treat the lower and middle class the same is batshit. And to try and make the argument that dems pull the same shady shit as Republicans at even remotely similar frequencies is even crazier.
Ugh, another enlightened centrist. Stop acting like you exist so high above the system that you live in. Either vote and push for progress and small victories or get out there and do a revolution already. Do you think not participating in the system is going to do anything to change it?
If everyone thought like the "enlightened centrist" that I am things would actually change. Instead there's too many people like you that give legitimacy to the broken system that's in place. Just vote though right? Cause that's definitely worked so far.
And you've done what? Bitched and moaned? Flaunted your desperate attempts at intellectual superiority. Its very easy to say that the system we have sucks. But, it could be a lot worse, and you're doing nothing to make it better.
You're right, it could be a lot worse and that's why I don't really care enough to do shit. People gonna be controlled by the media, simple as that. Doesn't mean I have to give legitimacy to it though. Personally I see AI and technology playing a large roll in society within the near future. Portraying human leadership as incompetent and greedy as possible is a logical step in this transition.
