    I was baffled after watching this that the americans still consider their country the democraciest of all.

      Americans are the most heavily brainwashed and propagandized population out of all western “democracies”.

      Americans (and others in “democracies”) can choose every few years which oligarchs have a turn at the wheel. However, any kind of democracy at the workplace is forbidden. Workers getting together to decide what to produce by democratic means? Sounds like communism. Can only get democracy theatre.

    Let’s try to not have this close an election again, cause you just know the same fuckery is gonna happen if there’s even a slight chance of Republicans getting away with it.

      Unfortunately, the structure and nature of our electoral process and state level politics these days make it essentially a given that this sort of thing is going to continue for a while.

        Yeah but if people show up to vote in large turnout numbers, it helps with these issues.
