The US media is owned by the same oligarchs who benefit from his fascism. Why would they bite the hand that feeds?

We did show up to the primaries enough to make a difference in 2016. We voted for Bernie Sanders as our candidate. The DNC told us all to go fuck ourselves, they're a private institution, they can do whatever they want, the votes are just a formality, and appointed Hillary Clinton as the Democratic candidate instead.

Please, tell me more about how it's fault of the voters.

I can alreadyhear them now. "We need something to campaign on next time." As though doing your fucking job isn't something you can campaign on.

And also allowed them to bribe anonymously, don't forget that very important part.

It's every democrat since Clinton and every Republican since Reagan. Carter was the last real president this country had.

Correct. Instead, dems would have declined to roll back any of those laws "so we have something to campaign on next time" until voters get fed up with their ineffectiveness and vote R next time. THEN, we get the invasions.

When you consider that the Democrats' job is to offer only token resistance and lose elections, you realize he's doing his "job" very well.
