Just to remind you that both parties are what’s known as “cartel parties”, serving the same wealthy interests.
Don’t get me wrong, The Democrats are preferable to Trump, but this whole situation is a product of Neo-Liberal Capitalism’s unwillingness to regulate wealth and remove it from influencing democratic outcomes.
By encouraging both parties to constantly service the rich, and deregulate their interests, we’re left with a voting public DESPERATE FOR RADICAL CHANGE.
…which is why Bernie, AOC, and Trump could all be popular at the same time. Because they’re all carry varying degrees of promise for change.
Some will likely lose that sheen of promise quicker than others. Ratchet theory - that both parties only shift things toward the goals of the rightwing Capitalist freemarket - will continue to be the central long term problem inviting radicalism and even more Trump like Fascism.
True change will not be handed to you by this system. The system will break over time with radical disappointments leading to violence. Delays and stop-gaps may be offered along the way, but the core problems of free market Neo-Liberal Capitalism corrupting Democracy will remain.
