    A lot of liberals find Newsom’s slightly left of Trump politics to be a refreshing alternative to pure fascism. This is a direct consequence of two policy choices our leaders have made:

    The two biggest barriers to democracy are our defective voting systems and the propaganda networks which enabled fascism in the first place. The entire reason the dems have to court right wingers is because the electoral system suppresses the votes of anyone in poorer urban areas. And the fact that rural voters prefer fascism is because of the propaganda networks being protected by the legal system.

      I will definitely not disagree with you there. FPTP sucks big ol’ donkey balls.

      Land shouldn’t vote.
