To paraphrase: “Just because Kamala Harris is literally a puppet of banksters who want to convert the dollar to a CDBC and prosecute any potential competition (real crypto projects that are actually decentralized), allowing the government to revoke your money any time they want, you should still vote for her because Trump and Kennedy bad.”

If the big banks had their way, any company working on crypto will either dissolve or leave this country for fear of being the next target of the bankster’s attack dog, the SEC.

This article says that you should vote for Kamala Harris because she isn’t the corrupt hucksters Trump or Kennedy. Honestly, I don’t think any of our choices are appealing in the slightest.

People tell me that Trump will bring about fascism. I agree. However, I also posit that what we get under this crop of Democrats is just another flavor of fascism (flagrant corporatism perhaps?) where CDBC’s (the digital dollar) are forced upon us while the SEC attacks truly decentralized projects with integrity, calling them “securities” just because they invade on the territory of their impending (and VERY centralized, fascist) CDBC.

I can't imagine looking at their differences on so many issues, and then reducing it all to this and thinking this is the issue you're going to decide on. Absolutely mind-blowingly weird to me.
