It was hilarious to watch Democrats narrate the demise of the big beautiful bill. But here we are, the uni party in Washington DC prevails again.

None. They didn’t need to since Republicans run the House.

So the blame is on one party only.

It’s a game - perfectly designed. Both parties feed the interests of the oligarchs - just with different flavours.

You look actual thing done over last 10 yrs by either party, there is a huge difference. Saying they are the same is a trope that serves republicans to diminish turnout in elections. Yes money has too big of an influence, Citizens United, but policies are vastly different.

For optics I can agree policies might seem different. But if you track them on the board they look something like this: 1. Perpetual War & Military-Industrial Consensus 2. Wall Street Protection - we forget Obama bailouts in 2008 for big banks 3. Surveillance State & Civil Liberties Erosion 4. Unquestioned Support for Israel & Authoritarian Allies 5. Big Tech & Censorship Collusion 6. COVID Policy as Biopolitical Theater 7. Immigration Theater, Enforcement Reality The State requires continuity and American policy pretty much remains intact between both parties - and frankly, having two choices to vote either blue or red is not really having that many options.

Yes I know - he was elected in 2008 - but he inherited the crash and dealt with it through the recovery and reinvestment act which 100% favoured Wall Street.

Ok but bailouts were largely before he took office.

Yea, he continued the triage to keep Wall Street and Corportocracy alive. Like I said, it’s always a continuation.

Fine but what you said is that he bailed out the banks in 2008, which is untrue. Facts matter. TARP was passed by Bush in 08.

Sure, but Obama expanded the scope of TARP, and also the DOJ under his presidency never prosecuted. We are talking past each other at this point. My fundamental argument is that the uniparty system has the same goals with different flavours (faces). I stand by that argument.

I understand your point/opinion but you are a reporter? so i would hope you also care about getting actual facts correct and the record straight.

My facts are correct. You are arguing over semantics. And I’m not presenting a detailed report here which would require expanding upon the details - I’m merely backing my opinion in a conversation.
