99% of the country votes capitalist every two years, and then everyone clutches their pearls when capitalist things happen. Guys, this is the world you wanted. The ruling parties are not hiding who they are from you.
Dunno bout "not hiding" I just read 6 Bloomberg articles that said everything's going great and it must be my gosh darn feelings actin up again

I mean, capitalism is going pretty great for the Bloombergs of the world.
Jesus Christ. Then the next video is how the Statue of Liberty and ?Abraham Lincoln?! Are crying over a travel restriction?! Don't get me wrong what a stupid response from Trump to "answer" immigration but Christ it is so performative nonsense.
There's some truth to that.

Can't blame the people not voting when they can't afford to miss work to vote.
