Will it be AI or the climate crisis that ends humanity? We can make it neither. Both of these threats have the same roots: private entities seeking to cash in. We have the power to stand against them. (www.theguardian.com)

Conservatives are the foot soldiers of the wealth class. Always have been. As ling as conservativea are alive, the normal people will never be permitted to address climate change, AI issues, force the wealthy to pay taxes or fair wages or create any other challenge to the wealth class. To defeat the boss, we must first erase its foot soldiers.

    That's okay. We'll take a stand to vote in a bunch of Democrats, have a majority in the House and Senate, get blocked on presidential veto powers and filibusters, and the public will just blame Democrats for not changing things. Because they are too fucking stupid to understand basic federal government processes that you learn in elementary school.

    And then two years later, they'll betray their own country again and vote GOP.

    Even when voting doesn't take much effort, the apathetic dipshit public can't even be bothered to stay motivated for more than one election cycle. Meanwhile, a bunch of old ass boomer conservatives are clocking in at the polls every fucking year.
