    It’s not a “bumbling”. That implies they are incompetent while all signs point to criminally corrupt collusion with corpos to extract wealth from the working class, rather than acting in their best interests.

    Elect neoliberals or conservatives, and you’ll always get a shit sandwich to bite down on, even if you occasionally like the taste.

      Completely valid. I actually used to correct other users on this issue myself. Turns out it’s fairly easy to fall into the same trap.

      Thanks for the correction, much appreciated.

        Yeah it’s a lot like the anthropomorphism of AI.

        We are all continuously, subconsciously, conditioned to repeat the same language the media uses to describe reality. We all gotta keep checkin ourselves before we wreck ourselves.
