Trump and the GOP have been working forr the 99% when the exact opposite is true

You're just making the same argument.

Democrats haven't represented the 99% since the 90's when they and Bill Clinton got in bed with Wall St.

Christ, it was Obama who was POTUS when Occupy Wall Street made the slogan "We are the 99%".

So I guess your solution is to believe the Democrats represent the 99% - no thanks. They've already proved through their actions they are for big banks, international hegemony, and war.

What needs to happen more on Saidit...

I'm here to learn and share. How about you? Are you looking for solutions or are you actually just trying to influence a community to your way of thinking?

u/socks A reminder to read this twice.

Bill (and Dems) made too many deals with the GOP: deregulating, killing social programs, arranging private prisons. And his foreign policy was one of the reasons for the eventual 9/11 attack. Those Dems were so political that they created additional problems for the 99%.

Obama & Dems accomplished in 8 years approximately 10% of what he was capable of accomplishing. Pissed me off.

Since Reagan, the GOP have been devoted ONLY to the 1%, developing a system where there has been so much money in politics that there may be no return to the 'American experiment' and a real democracy.

Thus, unless a 3rd party is wildly successful in the next elections, the ONLY option for the 99% in the US is still the Dems, warts and all. Saidittors tend to whine about oversimplified ideas of politics and government, rather than thinking pragmatically. One reason they do this is because of misinformation that they want to believe in.

I like to ask Saiditors questions about politics, in order to see if there are any reasonable solutions envisioned on the far-right, but I've not heard any just yet.

I am at Saidit in order to get read alternative points of view and to see if anyone on the far-right has the ability to discuss reliable solutions in politics.

No, I have no interest in influencing anyone. A number of us here tend to be contrarians and seem to enjoy arguing, but who we are and what we want should not be important.

That said, when a sane user joins Saidit, I try to encourage them to stay. (Most of them are gone.)

BTW: you've not mentioned a solution. What do you think are reasonable solutions to US politics, if you don't support Dem legislators. For example - who are the politicians that you support?
