I can understand your sentiment, but you're wrong. You don't vote against someone, you vote for someone. Nothing else works. I also disagree with the vibes characterization. Looked at the extreme, almost noone in the western world should complain about anything -- the standard of living is so much higher. But that's not how it feels like because you compare yourself to your environment. The voters in the US had a lot to complain about.

It's weird that you think you're in a position to scold people who don't vote for your preferred empty suit back into conformity. You can keep doing it by all means, but it's not working and there are less of you every year as things continue to get worse.

What was remarkable about the last election was that there is finally a self-conscious critical mass of people who could force the establishment to choose between losing an election and continuing the genocide. Those people are not responsible for the choice the establishment made; in fact they are acting in a strategically rational way that has clearly led to great success for the Republican party.

On a post about JE no less! The personification of the falseness of American surface politics; the most prolific trafficker in human history who had a close, personal friendship with BOTH candidates in a presidential election.

Until money is removed from the election process, class is important and can not be ignored.

Money is power. 100 people have the majority of the money. You can’t get elected without lots and lots of money from at least a few people with their own agenda. Establishment Democrats and Republicans both are part of the problem.

Look at productivity vs wages trends starting in the Reagan years. Look at how much more wealthy the extremely wealthy have become over the last decade, and how much your own wealth has followed that growth.
