    Not sure about the title of this post. But I just really wish more Democrat voters would come to the realization that a lot of people didn’t vote for Trump because they liked him. They voted for him because of how absolutely ineffective the Democratic party has been.

    Zohran should really be a reality check for people. The people that voted for him were not politics Andy’s like you and I. They voted for him because he had a clear message “free busses and rent freeze” is his “build the wall”.

    People are looking for real promises. The biggest difference is that a rent freeze and better public transit actually will improve their lives.

    If you don’t offer real improvements the masses will go for the guy with the xenophobic policy. A policy that promises to hurt “people not like me” and maybe then that will make my life better.

    That’s the reasoning. Simple as.

    It’s not because the masses love racism or rapists. It’s because they are so desperate for a politician that will actually represent working class interest that the first idiot billionaire with charisma was a “why not” in 2016.

    In 2024 it was a complete lack of the Democratic party to capitalize on that. There are people in America thirsting for the “change” that Obama promised. They just got wise. They realized that if it’s called “change” or “abundance” it’s the same stupid shit that maintains the interest of the rich.

    They want simple promises of actual material improvement that a politician can be judged on. And Zohran will be. But he’s brave enough to actually take a stand.

    Edit: seriously, please don’t fall for the same neoliberalism packaged as “abundance” this time.

      The way things are looking with multiple challenges to the 2024 election one in rockland county NY and another in PA (maybe there are others but im unsure atm) and so many statistical anomalies/ impossibilities it really looks as if America did not vote for trump. Star link had been connected to tabulator machines. Ive personally believed the us election system Especially the presidential election has been rigged since Reagan maybe even back to JFK with his family connections to the mafia back when his dad was a bootlegger. So I feel trump was telling a half truth in 2020 who knows if the rigging actually affected the results in comparison to voter turnout in that election but since it wasn’t rigged in trump’s favor he threw a massive hissy ass bitch fit because to trump it definitely doesn’t matter if it was rigged but only that it was not rigged to his benefit. But i think the wealthiest in our society get together and choose who they want to serve as their puppet but this year instead of participating Space Karen just went rogue and spent as much as possible to swing it in his favor. We have to look at this objectively. Our society has always been somewhat fascist but ever since lbj declined the party nomination in ‘68 and then Bobby Kennedy was assassinated after winning the California democratic primary the democratic party has consistently shifted to the right every election since. C Its the reality that the same financial interests are funding both the Dnc and the Rnc and since bush jr the usa has become extremely more Fascist. All of the 14 traits of fascism are obviously ingrained parts of our society but fraudulent elections is the only one that has plausible deniability.

      But it is a fact that every aspect of our political system is up for sale and this was set into motion when Nixon nominated Lewis F Powell to the supreme court which paved the way for citizens united. Now we have legalized bribery, a foreign interest is dictating terms and may even be using Kompromat farming/honeypotting to maintain this control. So imo it is naive to think that this small group of ultra wealthy people who consider the rest of us to be vermin/ useless eaters feel as though they have been imbued with a divine provenance to manipulate our sociopolitical and economic systems to serve themselves at our expense, would for some reason consider the election processes of our government to be too sacred for them to touch. It’s Obvious that these people have no reservations about doing whatever it takes, whenever they can to get their way whatever it may be,
