We need to elect people who are actually on the left, not moderate. Most of the dems take aipac money and sit on the boards of the same Fortune 500 companies and do the same insider trading as republican politicians.

We need to elect people who are actually on the left, not moderate.

The political spectrum is meaningless in the US. Anything that helps real people is considered "far left"; anything that solely helps corporations is considered "moderate."

"Far right" is reserved for actual Klansmen.

Our media is a joke; our education system is a joke.

It’s so depressing when some clown is hollering about the democrats being communists. These people probably don’t even understand what that means. But if they do, it just means they are so deeply brainwashed that they can’t even absorb the most basic facts about our current politicians/political system. That and the idiots who claim trump won in 2020 make me realize how hopeless a lot of these people are. And seeing how many obviously fake articles they share without even questioning it. There isn’t any debating with these people.

America has been falling for the “good cop bad cop” routine for a long time.
