Only if the oligarchs think Vance will fit their interests better.

He clearly would, so there's something else going on here. My guess is they're scared to lose the support Trump has as a cult leader.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Definitely. The only way they get Vance is killing Trump. Likely it's not worth the risk to that right now.

Exactly why I said the political system has collapsed.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, it works as intended. It was all meant to be like this from the start

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Not exactly. If it worked as it was intended to back in ye Olde days, nobody but white male landlords would be able to vote. Honestly we'd probably be a thousand times worse off if that was the case lmao

Our constitution has the 3/5th compromise because our country has literally always been set up for oligarchs

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yep, hopefully if you survive Trump you'll need to overhaul your entire system to prevent a repeat, that's a big if...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah. We need to throw out the constitution and start over imo. The Supreme Court being weaponized by the far right has basically made this government unsalvageable. Not that that will happen

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Other countries have rewritten their constitutional documents to modernize them. Can’t do that here, because it’s sacred. Sigh.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Honestly good luck with that.
