Why disappointment? Jeffries is an American capital plant; this is very consistent with his track record.

He's a sociopath like Corey Booker. It's all an act all the time.

Sorry to be off subject... but goddamn. I haven't thought about that Pic in forever. Was this a real person? Human genetics (?) are fucking wild.

He is not a republican asset, he's just a member of the ruling class. He's representing his class interest, not ours.

A lot of people don't understand this.

Early on, only adult men with land could vote.

In the War of 1812, many people opposed conquering Canada not because it would be morally wrong, but because annexed Canada would give too much power to the abolitionist states.

Then we had Andrew Jackson, the Trump of the early 1830s, who did a bunch of bad shit. And South Carolina kicked off some prelude to the Civil War with Nullification.

Pretty much everything from Reconstruction to WW2 was big corporate doing whatever they wanted with the American population. With some disruptions involving angry employees, of course.

There was that one time when Grant really tried. He actually made progress too.

It was all immediately undone the second he was out of office. But he did make progress.

Israeli but at this point the GOP are their majority owned subsidiary.

Americans get it: the politicians benefit from acting like it’s left vs right. It’s a small amount of Americans that don’t get this, the rest of us are stuck with a two party system where unless you are a .1%er you can’t create a new party, and EVERY .1%er supports whatever side won’t tax them.

You mean D's ? Because any "left" worth its name would be doing whatever it can to remove and convict the disgrace currently running America.

(Although I'm down with abandoning the left/right terminology. It's outdated and it lets regressives call themselves the "right"(as in correct) side.)

There have been studies that the laws and regulations being passed are completely indifferent to the will of the American populace. If you only consider the top 10% (but especially the top 1%) the correlation is almost one to one, the higher the percentage of people in that group want something, the higher the change it is passed in Congress.

As for how we get them to listen to us now, and undo decades of entrenched apathy, idk. Excessive violence?
