Awesome. Now it just needs to be more affordable while tasting just as good. Right now, the stuff that actually tastes like meat is priced like a bougie, elitist luxury good.

It was the first time any modern president has admitted that the elites of the party are the millionaires (and billionaires) who fund it, which gives them extraordinary political power — perhaps enough to push Biden out of the race.

In truth, the Democratic Party is little more than a national fundraising machine, as is the GOP.

Ding ding ding ding ding.

Political parties are poison to democracy… and our two-party system is nothing more or less than cancer of democracy.

And why do any of these problems exist at all? Capitalism, and the millionaires and billionaires that such a system enables.

Summary: Republicans are once again attempting to disenfranchise voters in a Democratic county.

Republicans. When they can’t win on their own merits, they dismantle democracy.

The “media” is largely owned by right wing billionaires. They don’t care if he’s fit, they see him as a means to their ends.

Coalitions are literally the primary way the rest of the world avoids devolving into the US’s corrupt two-party system. It’s proven quite effective.

If that could be combined with RCV in more countries (or US states), then it could far more strongly prevent the consolidation of political parties and return more power to the people themselves.

I had to read that a couple of times before I understood what you are trying to say. At first glance, it seemed like you were calling democracy itself bourgeois, but I think you meant it as a specific thing that isn’t actual democracy… e.g. it’s an illusion of democracy because capitalism gives the wealthy the ability to steer the whole ship, as it were. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.

Other than Jefferson Davis, who was let off scott-free.

And that’s before we get into Johnson’s “I’m the new Confederate President” behavior immediately after the assassination.

A vote for Biden is a vote for Harris… so…

The “good” news is that Piranha Bytes isn’t involved in that one.

I feel like there should be more of a penalty than “we take it away if you get caught”.
