the antisemitism video of philosophytube hits the nail in the head.
it’s not the banks that are bad, it’s ‘some banks’ that do what all banks do, it’s not the billionaires that are bad, it’s those billionaires that do what all billionaires do that are bad…

In a way I sort of understand them, the Dems today only really seems to act as the pawl in a ratchet, they are just delaying the GOP’s policies, not cancelling them then they are in power.

Democrats are at best a center party. There is no left parties in the USA to really pull back. And without reforms to the first past the post voting and campaign contribution system there won’t be.

not to mention how much of a profitable racket the democrat machine has built on losing elections.
Ever seen “The Producers”?
“It’s possible to make more money with a flop than a hit!”
(if you flop, nobody cares where the money went)
Well, with the democrats,
It’s possible to make more money with a loss than a win.
Because when their campaigns fail, all the money that was raised disappears into the wind.
Gone to “consultancy contracts”, “speaking fees”, “ad spending”, and probably a few other golden toilet seats.

Do you have a source on that toilet seat thing? The story I’ve always heard was that they were very specific aircraft lavatory parts.

I don’t actually believe there were any literal golden toilets, but rather that the term was a hyperbolic description of pork barrel spending. It’s basically a meme from last century.
