      Kamala Harris was polling behind Andrew Yang in California! Her home state where she was the sitting senator! Her suddenly rising to first in the polls just because Joe Biden picked her as vice president is the ultimate proof that liberal democracies are not democracies.

      The United States has absolutely mastered the art of propaganda. This is a country where congress is regularly sitting at single digit approval rates, and yet when you ask people about their own congress person, they'll tell you they're doing a great job. Politics in the United States is just a nation wide game people play every couple years in order to feel like we're actually making important decisions. But the real important decisions have all already been made by the scumfuck billionaires that we are currently being propagandized into believing are kinda like Marvel superheroes. We just get to decide which mouthpiece will put those decisions into effect.

      I will never take seriously a liberal harping on about how undemocratic communism is, and I am steaming mad that they had me fooled for as long as they did. Just tear all this shit down. Death to America.

        It's funny, because I know a few Chinese-American voters who were incredibly excited to have an Asian-American on the ballot.

        I knew exactly nobody excited by Harris. Bloomberg had more appeal.

        That's far more a consequence of partisanship and posturing than propaganda. I know next to nothing about other people's reps. I know some stuff about my own rep. Dan Crenshaw preens like a fucking peacock at every chance he gets. His district is literally and deliberately packed with Republicans. So all he really has to do is showboat, pander to the right corporate interests, and clean up during election season.

        If you ask people in TX-2 what they think of "Congress", they bitch and moan about how Other People's Congressmen aren't Dan Crenshaw. That's what drives the dichotomy.
