    Except that the state controllers shift in the meanwhile, with more and more impunity the less the people is involved in, even if the involvement limits to vote in an election

          US politics are kayfabe. Previously:

          Our education system and Schoolhouse Rock! (specifically America Rock) pulled a fast one on us.

          Previously:

          The US government was never not captured by the bourgeoisie, because the US was born of a bourgeois revolution[1]. The wealthy, white, male, land-owning, largely slave-owning Founding Fathers constructed a bourgeois state with “checks and balances” against the “tyranny of the majority”. It was never meant to represent the majority—the working class—and it never has, despite eventually allowing women and non-whites (at least those not disenfranchised by the carceral system) to vote.

      Took a week for 11 of the blue team to miss a vote on kegsbreath because they were having lunch with lobbyists. There is always an excuse. There is always a parliamentarian. Death to America.

        You do realize that none of the people who were voted in are actually in office yet, right?
