We really gotta stop using that girl in memes that make her seem crazy. She was the calmest most reasoned person in that video.
When does the right think corrupt government is the problem?
They’re too busy blaming everything on whatever that corrupt government tells them to.
This is just acknowledging that the government wouldn’t be corrupt without the billionaires. By the logic of your post, the left is correct and the right is not.
This stinks of “enlightened centrist” meme junk.
Yes, the post is meant to be pro-left.
But your first sentence in your comment is wrong. Classic correlation is not causation. With the addition of “if X is Y because Z, if Z wouldn’t be, then X wouldn’t be Y”.
I was on the fence about this exact thing. My logic is that corruption requires wealthy/powerful people to be corrupt in favor of. If there were no billionaire class, no bourgeoisie, there would be no people who benefit from the oppression of the proletariat, so corruption as we conceive of it in modern America couldn’t exist.
Of course, people will act unpredictably and some people with power will abuse it, but the whole system of billions being spent on campaign contributions and lobbyist dinners couldn’t continue if there weren’t entities with billions to spend.
Everyone is “I need someone who I can vote for!”
Why not run yourself? I bet there is a considerable amount of people willing to vote for a random person who has no known connections to oligarchs, pedophiles or billionaires
Because I’m not tough enough to handle the death threats I’d get for being trans.
Because I don’t want to be a politician.
There are also too many stupid executives. That doesn’t mean that I want to be an executive. I cannot both be a politician and an executive.
When someone wants to be an edgy centrist but ends up enforcing leftism
therefore, corrupt billionaires are the problem
Ahh the ‘enlightened centrist’ take, how very boring.
good luck finding any
This has to be one of the most boomer out-of-touch I’m-a-cool-smart-guy memes I’ve seen on here, and that’s saying something.
Read that again. Slowly.
so…. then it’s the billionaires. got it.
For real. Both sides guy is an idiot.
Both sides are now 30% of the electorate or less (pick your poll, D&R are very close).
Independents are now 40% of the voters.
Critical mistake that Dems make is thinking independent means centrist
Both sides is a pretentious asshole, are you seriously suggesting that 30-40% of all politically active US citizens are pretentious assholes?
I am an independent and I have zero issues seeing the ruling class and the culture they have created as the problem. Blaming it on the government is short sighted and plays into the wealthy’s hands. That is just stupid in my book.
The right elected the most corrupt government we have had so far.
…so far
This leftist doesn’t want capitalism or government.
Corrupt billionaires controlling the government in a fight to hoover up every last penny of the entire population of the earth are a substantial problem.
The majority of the right doesn’t actually care about corruption as long as they see it benefiting them, or hurting the ‘other team’. It doesn’t actually need to benefit them it can even hurt them substantially, as long as it hurts the other side more and they are told they could have an advantage due to it.
In the end, the left politicians are as into the corruption as the right, they’re just better at lip service and nothing is going to change.
Where shitpost?
