Always in the wrong direction?

I've been following poll results since the early 70's and this is what I read 95% of the time: "A majority of American adults say the U.S. is heading in the wrong direction"

Through Conservative and Liberal administrations, decade after decade, Americans almost never think they are headed in the right direction.

Any idea why? 🤔

Because we live in a plutocracy.

Poll wealthy people and they will say the country is going in the right direction. They rigged the system to favor the wealthy top 5%. How can you not realize that is what is going on? A system rigged against 95% of the people is not a democracy.

In Los Angeles rich people in Bel Air, Beverly Hills, etc are being targeted by over 17 gangs as they come out of fancy Rodeo Drive shops and restaurants, getting robbed on the spot or followed home to their fancy mansions.
They are beginning to see the error of supporting the Antifa/SJW/BLM/Defund The Police "kewl" Hollywood ideals.
I'd post the link, but what would be the point?


@Metal-Brain
So you think Russia is a democracy? OF COURSE YOU DO since you are jointed at the hip by your boss/mentor/lover Putin.
It doesn't matter in the SLIGHTEST Putin has made opposition parties illegal, and Navalny in jail for years and you say ANYTHING against Putin and you get a pulonium salad.

But of course that is 1) either FINE with you or 2) you say TOTAL FAKE NEWS.

Who rigged it? Would have to have happened at start of our country, to build such a foundation , so it must have been Alexander Hamilton.


@AverageJoe1

So you too are a Putin lover. Got it.

"I worked harder than most folks'' which clearly shows just how superior you think you are.

No point, the libs here denounce any report that is not in keeping with all of their mantras, platforms. Even The Hill doesn't pass muster. If CNN reported a fact that the sun is hurtling towards earth, I would believe it. If FOX reported it, Libs would not believe, even as their eyelashes started singing.
Gimme it! And, I love the way Musk is shining a light on the erosion of free speech by the libs.


@AverageJoe1
So for you the ONLY form of useable government is authoritarian which is what your Zombie republicans are aiming at SO CLEARLY out in the open, no bones about it, they HATE and presumably you too HATE the idea of democracy and therefore have joined forces with the repub zombies.

Did you hear about Mark Meadows? Looking for voter fraud? Looke at Mark Meadows.

Also why is it the ten or so CONVICTED white men doing REAL voter fraud, almost ALL repubs BTW, given probation, a few days in jail, community service for the CRIME of voter fraud but if a BLACK woman Like Pamela Moses or Crystal Mason now fighting a FIVE YEAR sentence for voter fraud.

I guess in your repub zombie universe there is nothing wrong with a bunch of whitey's getting a small slap on the wrist for ACTUAL voter fraud while black women get YEARS in jail.

If the Zombies actually win, which WILL be the end of democracy in the US, there will be MUCH more of that, and the return of lynchings which has already happened.
But OF COURSE to racists like you, they DESERVE it.

" Putin has made opposition parties illegal"

Zelenskyy has in Ukraine, but I am unaware Putin did that in Russia. I think you are making it up like you often do when losing a debate.
What is your source of information? Here is mine:

What is Navalny in jail for?

It did happen at the start of our country. Only land owners were allowed to vote.

That's what happens when you have extreme extravagance being paraded around right next to massive hordes of impoverished citizens.

I recommend these rich people take a page out of the redneck/roof Korean playbook and learn to defend themselves.

Yes. Rich white slaveowners rigged it this way and their descendants maintain it.
