Deep dives
Confusion in the Political Landscape
The current electoral process reflects a deep confusion among the populace, who are struggling to identify what political parties like the Democrats and Republicans genuinely stand for. Traditional values of family and community have been overshadowed by a disconnect from the core ideals that once guided these parties. The rise of vulture capitalism has further alienated the working class from representatives who are meant to advocate for their interests. As a result, many feel forced to choose the lesser of two evils instead of supporting candidates who truly represent their values.
