What gave us Donald Trump was a lot of rich oligarchs who wanted their never-ending tax breaks and a cult of poorly educated dumb-asses.
And those oligarchs bought up every key political seat in the GOP and DNC….
What I am getting at is: we’re sitting here infighting between two sham parties.
First past the post literally disqualifies the US from being considered a democracy. It keeps us infighting about Hulk Hogan vs. the Undertaker while the corporations (which are considered people except they are increasingly unprosecutable/above the law) shape our government into a fascist state whether you’re talking about under GOP or DNC rule.
they got that with Republicans. what gave us Donald Trump is a 2 party system and it's lack of alignment with the electorate.
