  • He and Trump and GOP aren’t petty there. They inject more distrust about the whole idea of voting. Rich people and corporation can lobby, but they still can’t directly buy an election or a cabinet seat in the open. They spend a lot to push up some candidate after ensuring their loyalty, and it seems suboptimal to them. There is a golden moment where you probably can game the system to make max profits and then grab the bag and run. Because democracies are at least stable, and when they roll into dictatorships, you stop playing solitaire, it’s now blackjack and you are walking a thin line between bankruptcy and being shot dead by a firing squad, because your elected politician has too much power to be securely bought.

    I feel like it’s disproportionally favors developing startups\companies\scams who need some boost to start to break even, or old blood that can tolerate some pain if they may consume every other actor on the scene.

    There are benefactors to that, and they are the worst people on the market who would only accelerate the collapse for their short term gains.


  • That’s all bipartisan system and predetermined positions. Can’t attack your own camp because at the pres race you’d hurt already choosen pres candidate and would be seen as your own camp’s traitor to target so-called allies. Even after she is irrelevant, for it gives a signal you can do this to everyone else, and gives free fuel to the opponent’s platform. Playing favorites in cases of infosec breachea seems wild, but here we are.

    Since it was dropped in the heat of the race, I can get why it was downplayed as a rep-based attack on Hilary, but she’s still okay after all of that, and I fear, she is still pickable for the next pres race instead of any other better candidate.

















  • I’m not sure if it’s wealth alone or just monopolies on power and influence achieved one way or another. The dark ages of many european nations were branded by churches’ influence over monarchs’ own decisions. They had at some point and in some places more real estate than anyone else, and usually supported wars for gains, but they gained their own power by monopolizing the irrational in commoners and printing god’s approval or forgiveness as they claimed they can do so. I’m not exactly well versed in the topic, but as a commoner myself I see the current concept of ‘wealth’ complicated by math, stonks and such as some sort of the same religious bullshit, but somehow more excusable in our age and time.

    The US of A has a deep rooted fascism influence from it’s own sources, that’s right, but the current wave of such sentiments and politics is vulgarly shown as russian influence by russians themselves because they don’t have favorites, they want chaos, and doubling Trump as both a MAGA patriot and a traitor is what can cause more divide and fragility than if they’ve chosen just one side to push.

    That was actual before Trump’s innauguration, but at that time I see it irrelevant because a mere influence dwarfs in comparison to orange fuck’s real actions to make the US the most unstable actor with the most ammount of military power, and its’ randomness makes me even more afraid for whatever future it would bring to other countries like mine.
