1 day agoAmericans get it: the politicians benefit from acting like it’s left vs right. It’s a small amount of Americans that don’t get this, the rest of us are stuck with a two party system where unless you are a .1%er you can’t create a new party, and EVERY .1%er supports whatever side won’t tax them.

But I think almost all Representatives are part of the ruling class. In America, you kinda have to be. Either they take corporate money or they own businesses (i.e. are part of “corporate”)
