Not as badly as I seem. It’s just insanity. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different result that gets me heated.

No. But the way to fix this CERTAINLY isn’t to post memes broadcasting your anger at some perceived slight from people that won’t step in line behind a sham system like some stupid sheep to be herded for your silly partisan hackery. The shaming does nothing more than perpetuate the very issue of corruption and austerity in the US.
Ranked choice voting solves the issues created by FPTP.
Have you EVER seen evidence that shaming marginalized, unrepresented, utterly voiceless and abused voters works?

I’m shocked that you’d make the typical overly generous assessment of actual bribery to excuse any and all of your team. /s
Do some more research. This is just the tip of the fucking iceberg. Biden has a long track record of quid pro quo besides this event that you clearly are purposely looking the other way on.
I could literally show you video of Biden accepting a bribe and you’d find a way to excuse it.

The politicians of the US took massive payouts from the banking industry in exchange for commodifying anything and everything that people need. Back in 2008, Biden himself took a $250,000 bribe from MBNA to make it illegal to escape student loans even in bankruptcy.

How dare you, OP.
What you’re doing is the equivalent of victim-shaming. The two party system is a fucking sham; and if you’re too comfortable (or ignorant) to realize that, you need to go read up on the US’s fake democracy and stop punching down on your allies.
Some reading:
1.) First past the post makes only two parties possible.
2.) Voting is a fucking sham when you only have two private parties that win court cases where they are accused of election fraud, offering the following as their defense:
“We could have voluntarily decided that, ‘Look, we’re gonna go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way,’”
furthermore, the DNC’s lawyer said,
“There’s no right to not have your candidate disadvantaged or have another candidate advantaged. There’s no contractual obligation here…it’s not a situation where a promise has been made that is an enforceable promise,”
If your two parties are legally allowed to engage in open election fraud in the process of selecting those only two possible candidates, how effective is it IN REALITY to vote?

I can only see one result of this: a debilitatingly self-aware nod to the previous one so obviously written by DNC partisan hacks that it feels empty compared to the original.

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.

Economist wonks are terrified that we’ll realize that the rain they told us is landing on our heads is piss.
Most normal people know that the economy is bad and has been bad for a few years now despite economists droning on and on with bullshit, cherry-picked unemployment numbers.

This is the guy that worked directly for Hillary’s campaign in 2016 (and slightly less incriminatingly Obama’s campaign in 2012), I personally witnessed remember that they scrubbed inconvenient links about her corruption from search results.

Thank you. I surely oversimplified it.
You’ve hit the nail on the head as to why I prefer to keep my activism quasi anonymous. The long list of amazing activists who were right but still ended up dead…. The only one who survived (Kwame) left the country.
Anecdote: At the beginning of this most recent uptick in the ongoing genocide of Palestine, I was pretty vocal and downright subversive with my language about Biden and his bloodthirstiness with regard to Gaza and was actually taken aside and expressly warned by a friend of mine in the MIC. I decided that my family was too important to me to keep up my activism. I’m sure I’m not alone in giving up and I’m sorry if I sort of glossed over the concerted effort by the that cadre of World Bank puppets working tirelessly to stifle any perceived threats to capitalism.
Thank you for your comment.

It all goes back to money in politics. Citizens United absolutely fucked us.
The cavernous power vacuum on the left caused by unchecked capitalism/corporatism (corporate personhood) caused all of the fiscal conservatives in the GOP to leave the circus and take over the DNC. Now, we’re stuck with an extreme right wing vs. a bunch of old school Bob Dole right wingers like Chuck Schumer. As a leftist, it hurts so much to see the Overton window shift unnaturally toward fascism. We have “spirited” debate about things that wouldn’t even be a question in a society (rights for all people…like what the fuck. There’s only one answer that even remotely makes sense to non-sociopaths) that isn’t sick to the core with corruption. It hurts to be spat on and shamed by people that should be my allies (or in a different political party altogether) because I have the intellectual honesty to call out the DNC for their blatant corporatism. I always say: Obviously Trump is shit. It’s the power vacuum on the left that caused this shift toward radical right wing ideas becoming mainstream.

Obligatory nod to the book that informed me about the true nature of the world bank, our CIA, and what disgusting activities firms like McKinsey are actually directly responsible for overseas.

This is standard operating procedure for the CIA along with the world bank. Read “Confessions of an Economic Hitman” for more detail on this, which is, IMO, actually what our CIA has done all around the world.
