    Obviously the system doesn’t work for most people with wealth inequality increasing every year without exception and people needing 3 jobs to survive. As long as the system is set up such that there are 2 major parties that fight for media attention by begging for money from rich people there will be no improvement for the working class. The working class knows that and they feel that. However, with lying being so normalised on every news station it’s very difficult to point to the right cause, so people lash out and vote for the candidate that promises change instead of the same spiel.

      And yet Trump is the party of more and cronyism. Not less.

      The is just more of the “drain the swamp” con. People didn’t learn.

        Yes it is, but people see change there while the Dems offer none. The problem is that Democrats didn’t learn that continuing the slow neoliberal rot does not work, and both Republican and Democratic media outlets make sure no leftist alternative can gain momentum.

        People want change, and the wealthy only allow change to the right. I wonder when will they realize wealth means jack shit without the rule of law.

          It’s the ratchet effect. The GOP drives us further to the right while the DNC stop us from moving to the left.
