A little hint on who rules over us. Hint: it's not Dems vs Repubs.

The trouble is, people know this, yet knowing this doesn't change their voting habits.

That's because the common citizen can't choose the candidate they want anymore.

It's always, "The lesser of two evils" now.

Yep. Also called the nobility which is how they as a group carry themselves as.

Tell me about it. I live in England, huge tracts of which are still owned by direct descendants of William the Conqueror and his robber barons.

It's almost like there's a global system that rewards greed.

It is. Sadly it's chronic and arguably un-fixable.

If you only knew how much a plate at that fundraiser costs...

Cheap at half the price.

Trump was the wealthiest politician in the history of the US and look where that got us, most of the wealthiest politicians have been Republican, too

Yeah, but he was rich before he became president, not unlike a lot of presidents and politicians.

Government was never intended to enrich people but that's how it was rigged later on to be a personal money maker.

They still need us, for now.

For now.

And there are more of us than there are of them.

A fact that may not work to our advantage.

The oligarchy controls the hoi polloi, only because the hoi polloi allows itself to be manipulated and controlled. It’s been that way since classical times.

And I'm guessing that will never change. If anything, it's easier to control the masses now than it's ever been.

Biden and Harris are richer than Trump?? Are you smoking something??

Doesn't Trump owe more than he owns
