The DNC bots will always manufacture some existential crisis using fear to get people to vote for their candidate to further there economic agenda. With there not being a democratic primary they have made their choice to risk democracy itself. I will always vote against fascists but don't shovel me a shit sandwitch and expect me to like eating it. They didn't even try to give us the illusion of choice between shit sandwiches this time.
You read it here first: Trump is a manufactured crisis to drum up votes.
If it wasn't trump it'd be something/someone else. I've seen this for the past 45 years. It's the same every election. The republicans use the same tactic "if you dont vote for Bush the democrats are gonna take your guns away". Every election recycle and repeat.
Check out a book called Manufacturing Consent and you'll start seeing how your very own consent has already been manufactured.
I've also seen this. Gore was one of the most genuine public servants out there (which is apparent when you look at his congressional record), but he was caught in a narrative of "both sides are the same". I believed that narrative at the time, but it didn't take long after to persuade me otherwise.
