reaction to Mamdani is not about the evil of affordable housing or solving food deserts
It kind of is that too, its a real slippery slope where if people see someone with some fairly mild goals actually improve the lives of the people they have sworn to represent, other people might ask for it in their states. Cant have the people seeing value in a government representing them, how would u be able to balance that while continuing to let the corporations you really represent keep no lube fucking them to death?
give any government pause for thought
Would have to still be capable of thought. The US gov is just a machine you stick a few million into and it sucks your dick lol.
Palantir is a company created so that peter thiel, the spawn of hell and the final boss at the end of the right side of the political compass, could use his wealth to influence to manipulate the country into becoming a sick fucked up ULTRA far right ideology. He has literally admitted that he knows his political opinions are too extreme for the country and that he has to manipulate us to achieve his goal. The company is named after a fucking evil seeing stone from lord of the rings for fuck sake. Palantir accusing doctors of following ideology is the pot calling the kettle black. Also since peter thiel is literally the devil we shouldn't listen to what he says.
We've definitely grown a lot more authoritarian recently, but are still mostly crony capitalism. Worse case scenario for our government i think will be Authoritarian Oligarchy, that's what the GOP wants anyways.
To answer your question about what benefit for the US it would be, it wouldn't be one, it would just be the fulfillment of the current iteration of the American dream "Fuck all of you as long as I get mine". Sadly we cant vote our way out of it because every ballot is a vote for either "Slow death of America" or "Quick death of America"
I find it ironic that i don't hear "taxation without representation" being mentioned more, its a defining phrase of our country's history, and I haven't been represented by the government since i was old enough to begin thinking about politics.
So you think the Dems suck because voters are dumb? I think the dems suck because your opinion is so widespread.
I think Dems suck because they know anyone with more than 2 brain cells to rub together knows they are the better choice, which means they never have to do anything to help us ever, just as long as they dont ruin the country as much as the GOP does. I believe this mindset of "vote blue or die" enables them. In fact if that mindset prevails America is doomed because if we dont force the Dems to completly change, or create enough left leaning anger against them to be replaced by another party, then the GOP will keep ruining the country every chance they get, and the Dems will continue doing nothing to undo it.
Regardless it doesn't matter, America is already so horrifically fucked. The GOP are about to sell what little chance we had at a decent future away and then fuck off to other countries on golden parachutes. Nothing short of massive political uprising from the left has any chance of righting the ship before the entry country buckles under the weight of 50 years of crony capitalism.
People are just dumb, plain and simple. So when the vote forces you to choose between far right politics, and far right politics+racism+shaking up a broken system, I can sympathize with why they voted for a third party, or even why they voted for shake up the system.
What I don't understand is the smaller group of dipshits, who don't understand even the basics of causality. Who will shout to whoever will listen that Donald Trump is the fault of that small group of third party voters, and not ENTIRELY the responsibility of the Dems being ineffective, woe is me, deep right, billionaire agenda, pretend to care but do nothing, pieces of useless shit that they are, so much so that an orange conman won the election. Stop fucking pretending the that the choice between cutting off your dick, and cutting off your dick and eating it, are valid enough choices that your typical uninformed, heavily propagandized voter, should definitely have obviously chose cutting off their dick but not eating it.
Lets not even get into the fact that the GOP can only be this extremely far right because the Dems have themselves moved so far right that the rubber band between them doesn't have to stretch barely at all.
But yeah lets blame the third party voters.
