        If you google the Michael Dukakis tank photo, you'll see that our favourite tankie actually had a suit and tie on, beneath the combat uniform. Honestly, after seeing the picture I kind of get why he lost that election.

          ...The cabal of bourgeois lizard people who control the flow of ideas to the electorate couldn't come up with a pro-MIC spin when faced with an image of a tiny man in a comically oversized Kevlar helmet?

            I mean, the cabal of lizard people had to choose between the Neoliberal in a comically ill fitting kevlar helmet, and the Michael Jordan of the Deep State, who had ties to 3 different presidential "misfortunes", mister Poppy Bush himself. So I think the ruling class just didn't bother with election interference, especially since the election was a layup after bush had been VP under Saint Reagan.

    I think this and corporate domination of media are the biggest contradictions to the concept of bourgeois democracies not actually being democracies.

    Like if you truly insist the US is a democracy then you have to defend the position that the ownership class gives away all this money to think tanks for no reason at all.
