The Ponzi Papers
Tl;dr nutso crypto conspiracy bro
Sure it sounds crazy, but goddamn have I been feeling like this whole country has been conned lately. Inflation keeps going up, we keep getting poorer, and the billionaires keep making record profits. Like what the actual fuck? This guy may not have gotten everything right, but the idea that we’ve been conned out of the America Dream by a kleptocracy (the billionaires) that actually rules this country and have been taught by media that we’re helpless in making any real change absolutely rings true.
And the republicans are the enablers of that con.
Democrats haven’t really done anything to stop it. It’s a ratchet where the GOP makes things worse and the Dems prevent things from ever getting better
They do more than you.
The world would be a better place if hillary and joe never ran for president.
Is 8 years ago your most recent example of Dem mistakes, by which you form your opinion of them?

The UN resolution regarding Isreal was vetoed by the Dem party. That was yesterday.

I’m only a Democrat on election day tbh
