Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

I think a lot of people on both sides are still living in a weird fantasy bubble that we have "two sides" and they're actually fighting each other.

Yes, some outliers are probably genuine, but we're all getting played if we think this shit isn't designed to make a select group of people wealthy no matter who wins or who speaks out or what the political landscape looks like. You don't leave trillions of dollars up to chance and the votes of uninformed or uninterested voters.
