Except that "normal people" aren't the ones voting.
America is a center-left country.. Like it or not, the far-left policies don't resonate with more than half of the idiots in this country.. I agree with you. Thinking people embrace them...but accusing Americans of being "Thinking people" is kind of a laugh..
So vote as far left as you can in every election. That's how you drag the country to the left. It's not going to be an overnight fix, it's taken 250 years to get this fucked up, it's going to take at least 2-3 generations of hard work to get it back.
But we START be eliminating MAGA from the american consciousness, and the only way we do that is by defeating them so soundly the money dries up because corporate america views them as a lost cause. That is a vital first step and nothing else works until they're gone.
