It’s pretty ballsy they just go into bill statistics while skipping over that in the US only the rich have the power to craft legislation anymore. You can tell the rich you don’t like what they’re doing and the rich will tell you what they are going to do to you. The US as an oligarchy is such an intuitive thing you really have to fuck your whole brain up to deny it.

Like they want to talk about how when the middle class and rich disagree blah, blah, blah. The middle class aren’t allowed to hold seats in government. The disagreement exist so far as there is disagreement within the oligarchy. The middle class has its opinions, but the government is riddled with legislative measures that would nullify their impact on anything. It reminds me of how every time we do presidential elections there is a new crop of young, hopeful people who learn the rules and realize everything is fake in the primaries.

“Wait, they can just purge the voter rolls?”

“What do you mean this whole thing is run by a private organization?”

“They can just ignore our votes and pick someone else if they want?”

“How can they just remove people from the ballots?”
