    They lied about them so people would hate them later. They want people to have zero faith in them. Capitalism wants people to have no interest in government because government is easier to control that way.

      Hmmmm, that's interesting. I've always considered the first 2 years of the Obama administration to be very awkward for the dems, having all the power but knowing they can't actually do good things, but according to this theory, that period was intentional, to disgust people as much as possible. Funny thing is, the dems suck so bad, people still fucking love Obungler :michael-laugh:

        Obungler is just our latest deity in the national religion. But you're right that they do sort of want people to like them. They have to play a balancing act between making sure people don't reject the Democratic Party and try to do change for real and wanting people to be detached from politics for the purpose of capitalist control.
