Artful politics is: "the purposeful creation of an illusion of options for the audience." ~ Sundance

We are fooled to believe we have 2 parties in the U.S. or Canada. What we have is one uniparty controlled by the same corporations.

After Obama gave the bankers the keys to the kingdom and Democrats didn't flinch, after watching how easily the left was manipulated about Trump, watching how the left embraced the surveillance State, embraced censorship and seeing how they weaponized race, gender and the media, screaming for social justice while giving a free pass to the accumulation of wealth in fewer and fewer hands, while seeing an opportunity to pit the minority working class against the white working class, it was a no brainer for the banks to embrace the Democratic Party.

One of my concerns is, as they seem able to justify just about anything to "save democracy" I wonder what they will justify in the handling of elections? And I wonder if they will be led into conflict with Russia and China, half-thinking it will help them win in 2022.
