Thats the point.

Control the choices. Control the outcome. That lets the donor class dictate the scope of debate. Set the lines of acceptance in politics.

There's only one way to fix this. Get rid of Citizens United. Nothing will be fixed until that happens. We'll just circle the drain until the next ego driven fascist wins the Whitehouse and ends the American experiment for good and all.

Here we go. Sending cops to beat down people who are against genocide again.

Republicans are ontologically evil. Pick any topic, situation, policy, etc. They're going to do the worst thing possible. There's no negotiating, convincing, appealing to morality. They're evil. Full stop.

Some people have this wild expectation that the Democrats should be better. Crazy I know.

While we're on the subject. Why are democrats so averse to progress? That's their job. Repubs are regression, dems should be progress. But while the dems move at a glacial pace if at all, the repubs can get their shit together to roll us back by decades almost immediately.

Good. Someone needs to keep them honest. (Or as close to it as you can in American politics)

I'm under no illusions. Citizens United means all this is PR. All politicians will go back to ignoring us and counting their filthy lucre Nov 6. But if principled people can get concessions out of these fakes then godspeed to them.

That's too much to ask in this country apparently.

You can deny history all you like. But that doesn't change it.

Because they don't see it as right or wrong. Moral justifications are for the slaves, not the masters.

The population of serfs has to keep growing to keep the wealth extraction gravy train running on time.

For the wealthy, an abortion is the small expense of 1 chartered jet ride to Europe. Call it a weekend vacation.

The entire existence of the occupied territories is so the US has a foothold in the region.

That entire failed state is and always was a colonial project of the US.
