Rx for the Democrats

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Democrats won't learn anything from this election, just like they didn't learn anything from 2016, because there's no need. People will get sick of Trump and vote for the Dems again. And they'll get their turn. Wash, rinse, repeat.

The duopoly is a power sharing arrangement between two corrupt, entrenched parties. Each party is happy to "lose" every term or two, as long as their retain their privileged position. There's no need for them to offer competent leadership. As long as they block out any real competition, they can keep up their charade up and running. The question is, how long will we keep falling for it?

As long as dark money can flow freely to the candidates. And not a moment sooner.

LOL - "dark money" is the new "deep state".

Harris raised $1B in campaign funds alone, never mind PACs.

"News" sites like CNN were basically campaigning for her. They might as well count that as a donation as well.

But somehow Musk's money and Republican's money is the problem, right?

Except dark money is real, and deep state is a silly myth.

Spot the difference.

Yes, yes, yes. Different when you do it. So very different.

What bizarre posting. You're an odd little man.

"Dark money" is of course real and refers to the fact that unlimited, untracked contributions can be made to PACs.

(Both republican and democrat PACs, so put the kitten claws away)

And PACs bet on horses that can actually win the race.

You're not going to whine or snivel your way out from under these facts.

Silly myth...LOL

Massive bureaucracies taking over power from those supposedly in power has a history. The Confucian scholars making the Chinese Emperor a figurehead, the Russian Nobility pre revolution doing their own thing against the Czar and Duma.

Hell, the Military running the government in pre WWII Japan is another example.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Silly myth...LOL

Correct. Silly myth. Our public officials are all public, as are the policies and laws they create. "Deep state" is a 'spiracy turd reserved for when things don't go your way, and you don't understand why.

I refers to money not controlled by your party. It was one of the scare tactics they used to kill RCV in several states.

(Both republican and democrat PACs, so put the kitten claws away)

Oh, it's totally "bi" partisan. I agree with that. Neither wants any real competition.

You're not going to whine or snivel your way out from under these facts.

You're right, I'm not. Whining and sniveling is your game.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

I refers to money not controlled by your party.

100% wrong, as explained in detail.

You are married to your fetishes. Get a grip. The words i wrote are right in front of your face.

 

[dblack]

100% wrong, as explained in detail.

No, you didn't.

The words i wrote are right in front of your face.

Yes they are. A clear record of your duplicity.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

No, you didn't.

Sure did. Both parties have PACs. The rules are the same for both parties.

I really don't have to spend any more time accounting for your fetishes and neuroses.

 

[dblack]

Sure did. Both parties have PACs. The rules are the same for both parties.

Yes. I don't care about your fixation with PACS, but you're right that it's both parties. Both entrenched parties. We need to reject both. Get out of the way and let real democracy work.

I really don't have to spend any more time accounting for your fetishes and neuroses.

Oh, good. Don't go away angry, just go away.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Yes. I don't care about your fixation with PACS,

Then fk right off... not sure what else to yell you. You brought up the topic, I gave my answer.

The correct answer.

You will never, not ever, have a viable 3rd party candidate, as long as PACs exist.

It's your time to waste. Knock yourself out.

 

[Foxfyre]

Correct. Silly myth. Our public officials are all public, as are the policies and laws they create. "Deep state" is a 'spiracy turd reserved for when things don't go your way, and you don't understand why.

Really? Then please enlighten us as to who has been running the government for the past four years? It sure as hell hasn't been Biden.

 

[dblack]

Then fk right off... not sure what else to yell you.

Then shut the fuck up.

I don't have to account for your fetishes and fantasies, sorry. These are your problems to work through, not mine.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Then shut the fuck up.

No, I will keep.posting on a public forum. And you are free to keep whining. It's a great country!

And most of them are democrats, and many of them think they should be making policy, not implementing it.

Dismiss it as conspiracy all you want, but there is historical precedent, which you evidently wanted to ignore so much you deleted it from the quote of me.

Which is bush league, like your overall posting.

 

[dblack]

Oh, ok. So you wanna keep going. Let's hear more about "dark money". It's fucking hilarious. It's EXACTLY the same as the "deep state". It's an excuse for why your party lost and nothing more. It lets you avoid ANY introspection, any consideration of why half the country was so fed up with your bullshit that they voted for a two-bit carny huckster. Again.

Democrats didn't lose - "deep money" cheated them out of the win. Yeah, that's the ticket!
