@marwilliamson I’m well aware of the corporate capture of a capitalist country, completely to be expected. At what point do Americans raised in the American educational system, working in the American economy, take accountability for not really paying attention to who they vote for?

@Yawaru Because the corporate coup of our political system has blocked the actual practice of a genuinely representative democracy. The corruption of our political system is at odds with the basic decency of the American people.

@marwilliamson I think that attitude is toxic positivity, why do you think Americans are above the exact behavior they exhibit? Hubris isn’t tragic.

@Yawaru American politics today is the *opposite* of a reflection of the American character; that's what's so tragic.
