    Yes. The Establishment is corrupt, not just the right wing of it. The establishment R and D have the same owners. They mainly want the same things. Those things are very rarely beneficial to the working population of the country. They’re just for show. Their job is to look a bit more caring and human when compared to blatant evil and unchecked corruption, but with mostly the same long term agenda because they mainly have the same owners.

    Establishment D won’t go to war to fight the corruption and fuckery we’re drowning in, they’re part of the fuckery. They’re just the actors we’re supposed to turn to. But if we turn to actual Democrats who want actual sane social reform then they will certainly fight those assholes, because they’re fucking up the game they’ve had so good for so long.

    It seems so insane that I joined the military shortly after 9/11 because of the Hoorah BS, and in 25 years it’s flipped to saying “Those terrorist guys actually had a good point.”
