Steve, I’m not sure you get it yet. Andrew Yang? Seriously?

Don’t you see that whoever is nominally President is not expected to make any meaningful contribution outside of providing a veneer of legitimacy for the ruling junta of oligarchs? The political parties have ceased to have any use — for the most part they’re filled with pusillanimous careerists who are there for the corruption opportunities. Electing one as President, even one who mouths platitudes we think sound nice, isn’t going to fix anything.

Do you actually think that the kind of gut-wrenching corruption RFK has documented is isolated to Tony “Jim Jones” Baloney and his cronies? Think again. It’s rife in everything touched by the Federal Government. Absolutely everywhere. Some elected official is going to be no match for an out of control “government” apparatus that controls the wheels of “justice” and the “intelligence” agencies when there are trillions of dollars at stake.

You really think the “deep state” rejected Trump because of his mean tweets? Or do you think it more likely that he made the mistake of thinking that he was actually in charge and succeeded in areas where careers and fortunes were founded on failure?

My advice: don’t waste money on political parties, at least not at the federal level — all that that is is staying within the matrix (if I’m applying the correct pop-culture phraseology). The republic, as it is now, is doomed to collapse. Do what you want, of course, but your money and hard work are wasted investing in political parties.

The future will be at the state and local levels.

Suppose Elon Musk (or someone else who is smart with lots of money) massively funds a new Public Interest Party where the candidates all follow a set of principles all putting the public interest first, they way it was intended to be. Is that the way out of this mess?
