    It’s honestly starting to feel intentional.

    The wealthy donate to both parties to pull them right, but no amount of political advertising makes up for the votes the compromises required for the donations cost.

    Kamala took fossil fuel money to pledge not to ban fracking, and that cost her votes.

    Those donations frankly just can’t buy enough advertising to make up for the pledge. But as long as the corporations buy off both parties, they don’t give a fuck who wins

    The result is the party with voters who have the least morals/principles is going to keep winning.

    And for everyone wondering how trump just won, that’s why.

      Watch when all the retailers magically drop prices now. “Look, Trump finally got us lower prices.” 🤔

        They won’t, there’s not going to be anyone to force them, and expect a bunch of mergers that will further entrench monopolies and oligopolies.
