If bourgeois democracy is sham anyway, the spectacle could at least be entertaining. "Mr. Christman, you're saying that January 6 should no longer be a national day of remembrance?" "Uh no, miss me with that one. I'm saying that Congress is made entirely of depraved freaks. They do one thing: push the button on the economic thresher that says: meat-grind humans for capital accumulation."
They tried this with Mike Gravel and it failed completely
Gravel was a complete lib who just had unreasonably based foreign policy opinions too, and they were just like "nope, no chance that's getting on stage"
They own the game, don't play by their rules. They can change any time
