Just a simple question I'd like the honest answer to. Do you believe that if Kamala is elected, she will actually be calling the shots?
Not really, no. Imo corporations, esp. the major shareholders, ARE government today. Politicians are merely their agents (and the cops are the politicians' agents). That said, the plutocracy does allow, or at least can't prevent, some changes. Obamacare comes to mind. Biden's IRA also, but that is not opposed by our oligarchs because it is a spending program, not an entitlement. For that reason I do still see some value in voting.
the *worst* might be that a lot of magatards are going to commit suicide or move to russia. which is a good thing in my view.
I appreciate the candid response. I disagree, but I do see value in voting. In this particular case, I believe a vote cast for Trump is one for Trump (regardless of whether we like or agree with him). But a vote for Kamala is a vote for the controlling entity, which is either the MIC or some similar part of the plutocracy (to borrow your word).
The MIC has just as much power over dems as it does over reps. That phone call the senator received from a donor, where he was told that if he didn't get the tax cut passed he'd never see another dollar, always comes to mind.
You still haven't explained what you think is dangerous. Do I think an acronym standing for "Make America Great Again" is dangerous? Of course not. If you're ever able to explain your thoughts in a coherent fashion (I doubt it), I'm happy to talk with you on what specifically you believe is dangerous about it.
Wholeheartedly agree. But I don't think the MIC has power over Trump, which is why so much momentum is being marshalled to ensure he doesn't get elected. If it were Haley, Biden and Kamala would be old news.
jan. 6th? racism sexism nationalism ... basically everything trump did and trump stands for. HATE NOT dangerous for you? somebody who wants to be president again primarily to stay out of prison is NOT dangerous in your view? wow ...
