This type of thing goes through my head constantly. Im kinda surprised trump is even trying to hide epstein given how well just breaking laws and being openly corrupt has been for him/they/them.

Back then the U.S. also was doing a famine on Iraq that killed hundreds of thousands of children, but let's be nostalgic for it.
we're ultimately responsible for the leaders we chose through voting.
politics in most of the western world has become a team sport making people ignore the TRULY fucked up things that our candidates do in order to ensure that their team wins.
also: the people with influence/finances have made sure that we're unaware that there are alternatives to team sport voting; but it's still our own individual responsibility to vote for our leaders and we'll continue to be fucked even more until this realization is forced upon us.
and i suspect it's going to take something catastrophic like climate change, war, serious economic depression, etc. to force us to wake up to this realization.
no, we are not. they pay to get their way by uninformed voters.
it is our responsibility to remove them from leadership though.
agreed on both.
the impact enabled by the people with the influence/finances coupled with the lack of self responsibility to inform yourself create uninformed voters and non-voters.
Certainly although many folks did not vote for our current leadership we did not make overriding citizens united as a litmus test and if there was anything to ever have as a litmus test its that.
Endless war and genocide against people who's only "wrong" was wanting their resources to benefit their own people rather than Western interests was a pretty decent litmus test.
citizens united was only another milestone in a series of milestones that the rich & powerful achieved and they did it with our consent, as i mentioned earlier.
the only litmus tests that ever matter was whether or not you were capable of seeing that "spoiler effect" or "first past the post" or "the electoral college" were bullshit excuses meant to trap us into the team sport mindset.
