RE: 6 Ways Corporate Democrats Gave Trump A Dictator’s Toolkit
@leecamp, well "big" is a relative word, however i think it's fair to assume that you missed plenty of ways the CorpDems are empowering Trump everyday. This is not your fault as the character limits for SteemIt posts would not permit an exhaustive list, nor would the reply posts so I won't bother to append to your list.
The bigger problem, which you address often and quite thoroughly, is this illusion of 2 competing parties. I think we need new language (hey, you're a fucking satirist, get working on this will you ! ;), something that is really catchy and goes beyond things like "the 2 wings of the corporate party", the corporatocracy, etc.
We need something more fundamental, more basic, something that truly resonates with people who are infrequent and/or shallow participants within the political space. We need to do a better job articulating that there are loosely joined, common interests floating above the illusory political battlefield that are governing the governors and creating this big socio-economic spectacle. A spectacle where happy little Americans dig in (competitive spirit and all), takes side, and invest their emotional capital in the rigged game. Theses fans, blind to the real workings of the system all bet on their silly little fraud (their team, their tribe!) to win them the day and deliver a partisan victory. Game over, sports analogy complete. But this perceived victory is not "the peoples". It is part of a bigger plan that addresses the needs, wants and interests of the elitist powers behind the scenes, not in a conspiratorial way, just in a sober practical manner because of their interests, social circles, etc align and they have naturally common goals/objectives.
I don't know what the new language is, but we need to do a better job shaking people out of the illusion that voting for their silly little team is going to result in the sort of massive change we need to save our wobbling empire from itself.

Yes, I hoped this article would help show that these are not two parties but instead two wings of the same bird.
I agree we need a new language a better use of the English language at least - because words Conjuring up images in people's minds and those images Drive our emotions and actions..
If people knew that we were all related that we are all Africans - who migrated and changed physical features depending upon how many generations we have migrated away from or towards the equator..
Ahh but happy little Americans Dig In to the idea that if we are brown we are black like night evil and the hat the bad guys wear while if we are light pink beige we are white like light pure snow and a lot of good things associated with wearing a white hat..
And of course people born into a system where they're advantaged do not want to be equal while those who are disadvantaged do..
A satirist or comedian should be able to find funny ways to f*** with people's misconceptions about who they are or people's plans to perpetrate a fraud knowingly in order to maintain social economic political advantage..
Once a discussion in the mainstream media about mitochondrial eve begins - whether it's around ancestry.com or through some honest discussion about the difference between light pink light beige light brown tan dark brown black and white.. it will be hard for people to use the divisive language of black and white to describe light pink beige and dark skinned Africans who migrated Out of Africa at different times and arrived here in this land featuring different skin colors but being the same race without knowing it..
Indigenous are not supposed to be living on reservations there supposed to be living their way of life and having an equal influence as all other ethnicities here in the United States.
We should talk about how Europe is not a separate continent from Asia it's part of Eurasia
Facts and Truth can be funny
To corrupt government and corporate officials and the ignorant masses at the same time.. - but I understand it's hard to do. I'm trying to do that in song ..
"It's not what you say but how you say it" -?
Lol
