    The system is working as intended. A country created by the wealthy, for the wealthy, and controlled by the wealthy.

    Having said that the two sides of the same coin is a bunch of bullshit when you see 60+ years of hate and fear propaganda conducted by conservatives.

    Making every modern amenity a partisan issue and is also no mistake. It is very clear one side is keeping us from free education, free/cheap healthcare, equality, and a living wage. It is even clearer when they are pushing for more child labor, pollution, racism, and sexism.

      You are contradicting yourself.

      The system is working as intended. A country created by the wealthy, for the wealthy, and controlled by the wealthy.

      It’s not hard to understand, in such a system you don’t make it to the top unless you belong to the wealthy

        Not at all, I am just not falling for the two sides of the same coin bullshit invented by the conservatives to further denigrate our government.

        There is a serious problem and it is not with the liberal/left/Democratic party. The reason we are in this situation is because the conservatives are garbage people dragging this country down.

          The reason we are in this situation is because for centuries if not thousand of years rulers enslaved and beat up people to seize power.

          There’s a genocide going on right now where kids are being murdered daily, if you believe there’s not a problem in the current system you are complicit.

            This is not ancient history and the US is not unique in its genocidal actions. There is not a country that exists that has not engaged in this behavior.

            There are several genocides going on right now.

            I know there is a problem. In fact, I gather I know a lot more than you about it. Not disagreeing about that aspect at all.

            Having said that we are also experiencing far less genocide than any other time in history. It is weird to say it but things have gotten a lot better although I am sure the Palestinians, for example, would disagree.
