Who will prosecute the people in this scenario? There is no end in sight imo
The next government...
Only the neoliberal wing obstructed holding people accountable last time. Now they don't control the DNC, so they can't use the "victory fund" to control state parties during the presidential primary or House/Senate rep's votes thru threats of bankrupting state parties.
Like, there's a shit ton to be optimistic about these days, you just won't hear about it on anything a billionaire owns, they want people turned off from the Dem party since they lost control.
Like I am not in the US and generally this is correct, but domestic politics specifically in the US I fear is going to get even worse.
I'm in the US, I expect it to get a lot worse before it will get any better.
It will get worse for everyone if we don't learn, demand better and embody better ourselves. This isn't going to be top down. It has to be bottom up.
Oh yeah, the next year shit will get much worse...
But "it's always darkest before the dawn" is a saying for a reason. It's a completely different vibe then when Biden was going into office and everyone knew it was just a brief respite at best.
The last time we were in this "good" of a position was the great depression, but that got us FDR.
So on the timeline of a decade, I'm optimistic. Because if I only thought on short timeline these days I'd be depressed as fuck, which is why oligarch owned media wants everyone thinking on short timelines.
The next government...
Yeah, look how that turned out for those Jan 6 thugs...
