    And nobody you listed has been in positions of significant leadership. The DNC stopped populist Bernie, Pelosi is shuttering AOC, none of them has been close to DNC leadership roles let alone the presidency. Bernie came into the DNC with his own political clout he built from outside the DNC which is the only reason he is where he is. DNC leadership actively suppresses changes in top leadership.

    My point isn’t that good people don’t exist it’s that the systems we have seem to actively and aggressively prevent them from gaining any real power. Good people are a threat to the way things are being done and less than good people keep it that way.


  • Not really too broad. There are aspiring leaders who might care but they don’t end up leading. Bernie doesn’t seem to ever end up leading much does he? Business leaders keep choosing political leaders. It’s leaders everywhere, not just political leadership. People who run things don’t seem to give a shit about anyone but themselves and they meddle in everything to make sure leaders help them first and foremost. Half the political class also is the business class so…

    Also one exception tends to prove the rule. The vast majority of our leaders, political and business, religious and cultural, are horrible fucking people who only do good when forced to and we have utterly failed as a citizenry to make sure they do.



  • Leaders don’t care about you or me. If we collectively can’t get off our lazy assess and force changes to happen that benefit us, they won’t. It’s really that simple. The working class needs to take responsibility for civilization back from politicians and corporations or well all continue to be genocided by the greed of a relatively few powerful human beings.
