Comment on the two party system is just one big party
Fedizen@lemmy.world 7 hours agoIts very easy. Republican media currently portrays democrats as satanic degenenerates who need to die. Republicans control maybe 70% of the media by value.
Wealthy people would save money on bribes if they only had to bribe one party. So there’s a lot of demand currently by the wealthy to consolidate power into a one party state. Its not cost effective to bribe two parties. This is an exploitable contradiction.

You’re still not seeing the wood for the trees - it’s not about republican vs. democrat, I thought you already understood that electoralism isn’t going to solve the problem we have. It’s about working class vs. ruling class. The ruling class own and control 99.9% of the media.

Voting doesn solve anything but its still an exploitable tool. If it makes it harder comsolidate media and power then voting is effective exploiting contradictions. The end result here is rich people lose more money and their media apparatus suffers credibility hits.
There is no outcome where democrats fix things. Voting at the current moment is a tool that at best can be used to exploit contradictory incentives the wealthy have created and undermine media credibility.
Democrats won’t save us, just as the second amendment won’t save us. But its absolutely dumb not to use tools where we can.
