Both sides of the American partisan binary do this and they do it so they can avoid addressing patriarchal capitalism and colonialism. That’s why our country sucks.

Integrity has been removed from every aspect of politics. We have to talk about it, especially among the youth, otherwise most people vote for the same shit.

I might want to call this into question. Was there ever a time when U.S. politics was truly for the people? Throughout the history of the country, the government has acted precisely in the interests of the property owning class. That is to say, when choosing between the interests of the people and the interests of the owning class, the second has been prioritized consistently by the people in charge.

1- This is a good point. But I think one of our strongest aspects is that we’re are an individualistic society where almost anyone can become anything. A lenience of control and a free market allows for industry to flourish and promotes innovation. I want to live in a country where we can become millionaires. Though, I think there’s a defining line. The amount of influence these people carry is unacceptable. Look at the Florida governor race between Byron Donald’s and James fishback.

2- Regardless of who you align with, it’s insane that one campaign can be loaded with pac money 100x more than the opposition. And they are funded strictly to carry out the donors agenda. You look at what happened to Thomas Massey, a 20 million dollar boost and trumps backing was the only reason he lost. Unfortunately there’s no clear solution to combat the puppetry caused by pacs and foreign countries. I wish people would be more aligned while also respecting our capitalistic society.

This is an interesting difference in perspectives. It is clear that we prioritize many of the same things (we both value hard work, innovation, and prosperity while at the same time bemoaning the influence of rich people in our politics). However, where we differ is in our analysis of capitalism. In my view, this system is precisely what stifles these things we both value. Despite this, I think we are more alike than different
