Oddbean new post about login | logout I think its kinda crazy that some people think this is a problem. We SHOULD be voting for platforms not personalities. We don't want Kings or Queens. We want to agree on a set of policy objectives. On some level I don't even care if our "leader" agrees with them. I just want someone who can get them done. Honestly, how is this wrong? The alternative is you get someone who says one thing and does another. I cant stand Kamala. She was my absolute least favorite candidate in 2020. But if she vows to advance the broad policy objectives the party has agreed on, then I'm all in.
She is a pharma & military industrial puppet. I don't want anything to get done. I want a govt (if we have to have one) were no one has any power to do anything, & there is disagreement over everything, & perpetual deadlock so that people can live their damn lives. The alternative is being monetarily debased into poverty, locked down, & managed from on high. When there is political agreement it always means higher prices, endless wars, new taxes & controls, & "emergency" powers that never go away.
What happens when you get a platform/party that says one thing then does another? Politics is a game of lies in pursuit of power, whether it's individual candidates or parties, it's all lies for power.
