It’s really sad how many Americans put stock in their so-called “Democracy.” First, it’s controlled from the beginning by the corrupt two party system, then there’s a layer of voter suppression, filtered through the electoral college (more voter suppression) and a huge cloud of lies and media.
Biden just demonstrated it. Basically, he just said “I don’t give a shit because none of this will affect me” and signed off on the Willow project – the largest oil extraction plan for Alaska, ever.
None if this is news or should be any surprise to any of you, but I’m offering my “take” anyway.
You’ve got to dredge back into the past for this one. Remember, Trump versus Clinton, 2016. Right before the election (because DoJ never does anything right before an election that might influence it) Comey announced that they were going to search Anthony Weiner’s laptop for dick pics possibly classified emails between Huma Abedin and Hillary Clinton. Are you following?

I’m a huge fan of Adam Curtis, maybe you can tell.
[Happy blog-a-versary! I started this project in 2016 stderr and look at the wild ride! If you told me that Russia was going to be attacking its neighbors I’d have said “that’s as likely as Donald Trump getting elected president LOL LOL!” 2,484 postings, 30,971 comments, I don’t know how to see how many comments I’ve made and I’m scared to find out]
This is where I am right now:
There’s a trope going around, lately (i.e.: since 2016) that goes something like:
Person A: says something critical of democrats
Person B: (rageflail) If you don’t support democrats you’re setting us up for another Trump, and you’re killing the planet! You’re probably a Bernie Bro!
Fascist boot-lickers seem to think they’re funny. But I just think they’re stupid.
I’m gonna just come right out and say it: if you’re a republican, you’re a dangerously delusional racist in denial. If you’re a democrat, you’re a dangerously delusional political hack in denial.
