tldw old man rant.
It’s only an “illusion” if you think there’s no difference between republicans and democrats. sure we have a lot of issues to work out, especially money in politics, but this “democracy illusion” rhetoric is self defeating by turning people away from voting.
Thanks for bravely coming to this comment section to actually demonstrate EXACTLY what the video is about. You are such a fucking joke (to the Democrats and Republican parties) and you don’t even know it. You are cosplaying as an activist.
Thanks again for the laugh.

If you think there’s a difference between the flavour of billionaire Wall Street in bed with big business party you’re not looking at the bigger picture.
Both are marching to the same destination. One may want to be racist and sexist on the way, but the end result is neo-feudalism.

if you don’t think the republicans are in bed with big business to an even bigger degree you are not paying attention.

I think they’re in bed the same amount, I think they run in the same circles, and have the same owners/donators/lobbyistz.
You’re not paying attention, it’s now almost a century of big business running the show. Things are not materially improving for citizens. The only winners regardless of which party is in power is business.

Trump’s entire economic policy was designed by the Supply Side Economics brain trust.
Thanks a lot to presidents like Reagan and Trump, and the GOP hijacking the working class right with grievance politics.
