- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.

This isn't default democracy; this is a failure state created by the rich's desire to own you (also known as capitalism). The media environment that makes such delusion possible and the deregulation that made that environment legal (looking at you Reagan and Clinton) were created by rich people and their stooges and they can (in theory) be destroyed by The People™. It also bears notice that when politics works for the average person (think FDR) it's not quite that dysfunctional; again the current situation is a failure state created by the oligarchy controlling politics, though you could argue instead that the oligarchy is the default and periods where politics works for the average person are the exception.
Yeah, and every last bit of it comes down to the dumbest people on the planet buying in whole hog.
The ruling class explicitly set out to turn Americans into "perfect consumers". They succeeded.
These dumbest people on the planet aren't a contemptible series of individual failures or an accident, they were grown in a lab.
A system which cannot bear sober scrutiny must stupefy its subjects.
It can be both.
