@madeingermany@mas.to @pluralistic@mamot.fr All I was referring to in that post is that neither of the parties reflect the will of voters. I was not commenting on the madness of the Trump Regime, although I certainly have and will continue to.
I'm commenting on the flaws in the system that have set up the conditions for this to happen. The disproportionate influence of lobbyists and corporate donations mean that policymakers answer to them, not their constituents.
And yeah, the state of education, political and otherwise is a big factor, but I would assert that the erosion in education also comes from undue corporate influence. All corporations want is a compliant workforce of consumers, and that's what they got.
All of these things have set the foundation for the rise of a fascist state, and now we're seeing it play out in real time.
Marco@madeingermany@mas.to
@alan@mindly.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr gotcha, I agree with that.
Mostly it's the money: Fundraising (other countries limit spending and give every candidate the same amount) and the worst is citizens United.
