@EvilSandmich @NitroDubs @WhiteBoyRooster because people are upset that this is spiking the grift, obviously.

@WhiteBoyRooster @EvilSandmich @sickburnbro Anything to keep the grift going. I wasn’t even surprised by last night’s results. And now tonight the GOP is having a debate on NBC of all places. I’m sure it will be another clusterfuck.

@NitroDubs @WhiteBoyRooster @sickburnbro After McCarthy and McConnell intentionally threw 2022 in a very public manner the only shocking thing is why this chin-rubbing stuff even shows up.

@WhiteBoyRooster @sickburnbro I think like in Virginia they were expecting to pick up seats in their statehouse, but then didn't. I'd imagine it's the same as elsewhere though: the GOP does *nothing* to justify voting for them and then blame social-causes that they may (or may not) have paid the lightest of lip service to in order to maybe get their voters out to vote for them.

@WhiteBoyRooster @NitroDubs @sickburnbro The financial empire of GAE has bred the worst oligarchs on the planet and every place has them, I mean *every* place has some family whose wealth is the result of some grift, and these are the people who choose elected officials at almost every level. Even look at some no/low pay thing like a small school board where a box of signs and some modest mailings will set you back $1,000-$2,000. That's not *awful* but even for people of decent means it's not money they'd flush away on a lark.

I didn't keep up with anything except my local elections.
I just don't get how anyone can trust state level and above elections after 2020.

@EvilSandmich @WhiteBoyRooster @NitroDubs The people that wanted to get money out of elections had the right intuition, but the problem is that it is impossible in a society that worships money

@WhiteBoyRooster @EvilSandmich @NitroDubs when all the spending is free and debt financed, this is what you get

Ive seen my city leaders spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to hire an engineering firm to declare an old rotting building unrepairable so they can demolish it. Then spend another several 100k to some development firm to tell them what should be built in its place and to forecast the cost. Then give millions to some giant out of state firm to court chik fil a and Starbucks to open restaurants in the recently demolished spot. Then more millions to the chic fil a and Starbucks approved construction company to build the damn thing.
God I hate government so much its unreal

I mean. We're just voting on who gets to spend money. And they all skim. No one willingly signs up for this shit out of civic duty.
