Knew there had to be some bullshit going on. The Putin vs Trump drama was getting stale so they manufactured this bullshit. I'd question if it's even necessary though. Nobody's doing anything about anything anyway except for a few progressive politicians.

except for a few progressive politicians.

And even they are only doing speeches and symbolic gestures. Just once I would like something done, no matter how small or little or meaningless, by a well known politician, that is more than nice oration or photo ops. But has real world ramification.

The progressives I'm thinking of are getting a little more aggressive and that's good thing. But I definitely know what you mean. Sometimes I pretend that I'm a leader when I'm fucked up. I'd say all kinds of cool shit that nobody could handle.

I bet what you say then is much better than what we listen to

Too much profanity for people. Too angry. Too weird. Not a ton of mainstream appeal

I understand, I want a workers revolution and rule by a non democratic proletariat myself; and that is just not a popular choice with most.

But one cannot have democracy when it’s so broken and misunderstood; might as well just redistribute the wealth, in a not so nice way, in a non democratic way, and find out where things go from there.

You know, there can come a point where a lifetime appointment ceases to be a certainty of power and becomes a threat.
