This somewhat illustrates the difference between being a conservative and being a fascist.
Liberals and conservatives don't have a party to represent them. Pffft! Who am I kidding? American citizens don't have anybody to represent them.
Everyone gets representation!
You get to pick between pro-corporate fascists, or pro-corporate politicians who believe we should meet facists halfway on whatever they demand because they want to compromise just to say they worked out a compromise.
It ends up with the vast majority disappointed in who they vote for, and mostly just voting so the other side loses.
In a two party system, it'll eventually come down to the lowest common denominator. With one side aiming for the slightest bit higher than the other. And the other is in a constant nose dive to differentiate from the first.
The only thing that can save it is at least holding our party to a higher standard than "at least they're not the other team".
Seems like taxation without representation repeats itself.
You think that an anti-trans bill represents the will of the people?
You don't think it's simply the representatives of those people pandering to their donors and other party members?
Curious take.
Yeah especially in a state that attempted to ban abortion immediately after we voted to enshrine it in our state constitution and is attempting to edit the marijuana legalization that we passed by ballot initiative.
Ironically the Boston Tea Party was a revolt against corporatism, which is of course evil and hateful against corporations so is not taught.
