I'm more liberal, but not by much.
Compared to 15 years ago, a lot more liberal.

I've come to the conclusion that, seeing as both parties have the same financial backers, American politics is pretty much a stage show and the American public has very little to do with the actual outcome.

They want the number of actual voters to be as close to 50/50 as possible so that, no matter who the electoral college chooses, it comes across like a bad call rather than a rigged election. The Democrats win the popular vote each time, yet Republicans have a near 50/50 success rate. There's no amount of "well, actually, it's very complicated" to justify that.

I think Donald Trump bought his way into the presidency before he was ever officially nominated. Joe Biden was just America's owners having buyer's remorse. Of course, we'll find out in a few years. If Trump becomes president again, I'm wrong. I'm not sure what I should hope for: a rigged political system or one in which bigotry and xenophobia flourish.


Nail on the freaking head.
