    Why would they give a shit? They get paid to do nothing. All they have to do is let Elon and Trump do whatever the fuck they want and they get to insider trade and suck on the teat of the taxpayer all while getting the best healthcare in the country for free for life. Our system of governing is a joke.

      Which will work fine until they are no longer needed. Once they’ve given all their power to the fascists, they’ll suddenly find themselves very much redundant.

        They’ll continue to be empty suits with the illusion of power and actual wealth…

        They’re not gonna consider that a bad result. They don’t want to govern let alone know how…

        Don’t act like all we need to do is sit back and wait and karma will do the hard work for us.

          Exactly this Russia still has elections and an “opposition”. You can still be in control without necessarily being in the presidential position just as Putin was while Prime Minister after running out of terms.

      In France the answer would have been: because otherwise there would be widespread demonstrations, strikes and eventually riots.
