MODERATORS
They play both sides so that even when we win, we lose.
We just try to lose less.
Trying to win means votes too....
It cost Biden over a billion last election to barely win, this year they're predicting it will cost 2 billion
The reason we're told we're tuck with bad candidates who take corporate money, is it costs that much to win and the only way to get is billionaires and corporations...
But that's not true, only "moderates" need that to win.
Jimmy Carter didn't need it. Bill Clinton didn't need it, Obama didn't need it...
Bernie was able to run a competitive primary against Hillary without it too.
I don't know why people act like Hillary and Biden are normal, they're terrible candidates voters don't like, but we don't have a say in it anymore. The DNC took Biden on a victory lap before the majority of states even voted.
Shit was still bad 20/30 years ago, but it wasn't as bad as the last decade.
Like, I've never understood the rationale that because trump is so dangerous, we had to run candidates that voters from both parties strongly dislike.
