Isn’t it weird how policies that help the poor are treated like a zero sum game (“anything they get is less for the rest of society”) but policies that help the rich are treated as good for everyone (“a rising tide lifts all boats”).
That’s capitalism for you where rich have significant control over media and people are uneducated enough to realise those problems. And people that know about the issues mostly don’t do anything bacause people don’t have energy and time to organise and push for the better future because everyone is fucking overworked from trying to literally just live.
Actually I have been happy with most of the work my states rep have done but much does not get through with the rest of the countries reps or things go through despite my reps not voting for it.
Mine support plenty of status quo to but usually they are trying to at least shift it in a better direction. I get it to because they can push radical change with a certain chance of getting it which is low or gradual and have a good chance of making it through. Now don’t get me wrong. I realize how useless gradual change can be at this point but I think the same of radical but im sorta a doomer.

or we do, and we watch the people we vote into office just tell us to go fuck ourselves when they elected.
and anyone who runs against them that gets into office… does the same thing.

all my state reps support that status quo the second they are elected and refuse and genuine or difficult reforms.
