“Everything is everyone else’s fault! Why can’t everyone see that my way is better for me and my interests?!?!?!”

Sorry donnie, we do see it.

They do not understand and the understanding they have has been formed with propaganda for decades.

American politics has been so far from it’s idealistic roots in democracy and supplanted by the wealthy for decades if not a century or longer. Allowing businesses to fund campaigns openly in the 70s has to have been a big tipping point and why we have allowed it is bizarre to me. We have basically no media today that isn’t highly politicized one way or another. Bezos has altered his media to fit whatever party furthers it’s business goals… like most oligarch owned businesses following suit whether or not they are media.

I don’t think things can be changed anymore though. I think pandora’s box opened at some point and it can’t be shut again without tearing civilization down.

They paid in cash per TFA

It’s because the wealthy run things, and the victim was wealthy.

Game, set and match.

cause meet effect

I can’t believe investors were OK with him selling twitter to another company he co-owns.

Yeah, you guys made a lot of mistakes. How about you take your thumbs out of your asses, say fuck it to partisanship, and vote your fucking conscious instead of just rubber stamping what your cheeto tells you to do.

If you all stand up to the guy all his power is gone. He only has power over your party because you all give it to him. The nation is only dysfunctional because you just carte blanch vote down anything that isn’t created and edited by your party even if it’s the best thing for your constituents.

in my experience the credit unions I am eligible for are no better than commercial banks.

The best credit unions are highly restricted to a small population with a common association. They aren’t made for the masses.

lol you can’t turn off overdraft protection. I fucking tried. They wouldn’t let me do it.

I am not using a major national bank, just a local/regional one from my hometown.

I wholeheartedly agree with electing young people to drain the swamp that is the state of US politics.

After what happened to bernie and then now what is going on right now it should be clear that the house and senate are not doing their jobs. They should be the ones creating laws, not the executive branch.

You’ll notice that I didn’t call out a particular party. I think it should be a bipartisan effort. Maybe we’d finally get the younger generations to vote if they could relate to the people in office.

now replace chatgpt with these terms, one by one:

• the internet
• google
• facebook
• instagram
• tiktok
• reddit
• lemmy
• their cell phone
• news media
• television
• radio
• podcasts
• junk food
• money

Any republican party member who stands up for this will be threatened with having their seat put up to a primary challenge. This is just a fact.

Remember, whatever the administration says can only be interpreted by fact by anyone who is part of the party. If you aren’t in line you aren’t in the party.

The undesirables will be shipped off to a camp far from the public’s eye and shaven, beaten and humiliated.
