MODERATORS
I wish Americans voted the same way they move couches. That is, for the purpose of helping someone with no expectation of profit.
the disconnect between how people act face to face and how they vote is sometimes mind blowing
then with other people, it's just right as expected. you know the type, the ones who never think to hold a door, who leaves shopping carts in the way, who act like dangerous assholes the moment they start driving a vehicle
There's unfortunately a good bit of political gerrymandering influencing vote outcomes as well. If congressional districts were impartially drawn nationwide, the US House of Representatives would be a completely different legislative body
We'd be a stakeholder socialist country if it weren't for the oligarchs astroturfing and propagandizing.
But pizza
The propaganda is powerful but the DSA and the Working Families Party are working to fix things.
That's because there are outsiders that they do not move couches for. They get to choose. Judge as you will.
