No, not really. Funding is no guarantee of political success, some of the most expensive campaigns in US history have been failures. People don’t want the status quo upset, that’s why it’s the status quo. People are continually voting for it.
some of the most expensive campaigns in US history
And what got them into the utterly privileged position of running those expensive campaigns in the first place, hmmm?
People don’t want the status quo upset,
No, be honest… you don’t want the status quo upset - which is why you are pretending “liberal democracy” can actually be called democratic with a straight face.
People are continually voting for it.
People are continuing to vote for the narrow set of political options they are allowed to vote for - that is it.
If there was any impetus for change like you want, Bernie Sanders wouldn’t have been beaten in a primary. You can believe it’s all rigged, but then to be honest you shouldn’t be complaining on lemmy, you should be doing a left wing Jan 6. I’m not American, I have paid leave, social benefits, free healthcare, bicycle lanes, so I don’t really care what your status quo is, but you guys are just amazing at voting against your own self interests.
Bernie Sanders wouldn’t have been beaten in a primary.
The “marketplace of ideas” bullcrap has been thoroughly debunked, liberal.
you should be doing a left wing Jan 6
Your suggestion is for leftists to do a white supremacist lynch mob? What else should the left do, “enlightened centrist?” A leftist “version” of the Holocaust, maybe?
so I don’t really care what your status quo is
I don’t live in the Global North - I live in the extraction zone… you know, those places that your status quo couldn’t exist without?
at voting against your own self interests.
So I’m going to assume that the resurgence of overt fascist ideology in Europe is merely Europeans “acting in their own self-interest”? I guess it’s just the same ole’ Europe then, eh?

Wow you are very much detached from reality. Okie doke. Enjoy being politically ineffective I guess.
I’m not the one clinging to utterly failed, debunked and discredited fairy tales, liberal. You are.
