PC LOAD LETTER posted:I think you're getting eeextreeeeemely far from your original point here and have lost the plot. Especially since you seem well aware that there are very powerful and self centered interests aggressively putting their thumbs on the scales here. I guess it's a difference of opinion on people's inherent motivations? I fully agree that capital intentionally works to focus voters' prejudices in a way to undermine the things that would be good for them, but those prejudices have to be there in the first place to exploit. It's a generally hateful culture a lot of people live in that creates the openings for that sort of politics. To bring it back to the original post, it's hard to say that Americans "deserve" better when we (as a group) are so easily exploitable around personal prejudices by said self centered interests.

I'm pretty obtuse; I kept reading discussion here about Nicki and SNL and I thought you were talking about the actor portraying her, I didn't realize that Nikki Haley was actually on SNL!

America is weird in that you can’t but your way to the presidency without the backing of one of the two party apparatus. A weird system but hey when our next fash president comes up it will be through good old party politics and not money so there is that

There are some cracks in it forming here and there on a state level but I expect FPTP to still be the dominating factor in US politics at least until I get senile and/or die.

One good development: People are more and more aware of the differences between the popular vote result and 18 century arcane voting system result. I am not sure, but has the popular vote always been reported in election results? For some reason I think that this is just a recent think.

MTG is just oozing with complete and utter desperation to be viewed as important and adored by the worst people in the country. She excitedly got in the clown car and now her entire career is punching her way into the driver's seat. She has no actual governmental use or value.
