I actually know people, who not only care about the January 6th Show, but they also think it's real and that it will actually lead to some sort of punishment for past and present government employees.

it's laughable. they're mostly otherwise smart people... both of em hippie type natural health folks who got somehow got suckered to different degrees by the infection injection propaganda.

the nice lady who used to be a masseuse fell for it all, hook, line, and sinker; while the older gentleman who still does bodywork at least has an open mind to viable medical information even though he went and got his shots (at least one and I'm not asking about the total.)

I do think they're both avid Blue hat wearers who haven't realized just how corrupt their wing of the Republicrat Uniparty has showed itself to be, and that's probably why they're into the soap opera du jour.

What good does it do to pander to these people? They wouldn't vote Republican if Biden ate two babies on national tv.

well, I'd never vote Republican even if biden ate five babies.

I don't vote Democrat, either.

I do vote. my choices don't win because too many people get scared that if they don't vote for whichever wing of the Republicrat bird isn't That Guy (at the time, officeholder varies,) then That Guy is certain to win.

rather than voting for someone who still isn't perfect but at least isn't /EITHER/ of Those Guys and isn't as likely to bow and scrape to some aspect of the Security State Corporatocracy..

that'll only happen when people get so sick of trading a known Evil for another Evil (wearing a Lesser Evil mask for election time,) that they actually stop voting for the Apparently Slightly Not as Bad Guy who always turns into Oh Crap Not This Again Guy after the power transfer.

and then even if third parties did somehow get the Hail Mary of a majority vote... then there's the voting machine manipulation to contend with.

Our Benevolent Overlords wish us to only to have the chosen candidate, whomever that might be at the time.

I've never voted for the guy who ended up winning, either. I'm used to losing 100% of elections, which is why I'm so happy calling them both out. The only reason I focus on the left is because they are the ones with the power at the moment. I have plenty of bad shit to say about the fake financial conservatives and neocon remnants still lurking the GOP corridors, it's just that they are irrelevant right now.

But if a libertarian D popped up (and wasn't immediately eaten by the hive), I would happily support the campaign. We need better policies from both parties, not just a continuation of the bumper car cartoon.
