“How’s the Democratic Party’s ground game in Pennsylvania?” I asked a friend several weeks before the 2024 presidential election. He replied optimistically that there were far more door knockers this year than in 2022.

It turned out these door knockers were just urging a vote for the Democrats without putting forth a compelling agenda attached to candidate commitments on issues that mean something to people where they live, work, and raise their families. There was no Democratic Party “Compact for the American People.” Then-President Joe Biden visited Pennsylvania, which went Republican, many times, with his most memorable message being that he grew up in Scranton.

Their aversion to building their own momentum to answer the basic questions “Whose side are you on?” and “What does the Democratic Party stand for?” remains as pathetic as it was in 2022 and 2024.

    People have to understand that Republicans and Democrats are the same thing, its the same serpent which bites its own tail. Its controlled opposition.

      I’m struggling to understand your ouroboros metaphor, could you elaborate? I’m not trying to be sarcastic or to tease or anything, I’m asking in earnest.

        There’s no tease in that and you’re right to ask for more information. Republican and Democratic parties, despite appearing as opposites, are actually part of a single, self-sustaining system (“controlled opposition”). Now, that doesn’t mean it’s always been that way, but infiltrating both parties during many years can set a scene for this to play out perfectly. They don’t care about laws, rulers, or anything of those sorts (they are the ones printing money and distributing power). Presidents, governors, etc are not “controlled” as in per se (or at least not all of them), but once they reach that position they are limited by the very system they are ruling, and that system is already controlled by a single “party” (to call it so) which has people on both sides. People who meet and drink at the same table, visit the same islands, do the same degeneracy, so on and so forth.

        Edit: Also a good example is AIPAC, they are funding both democrats and republicans. AIPAC could easily be the very serpent we are talking about. What’s funny is that AIPAC is basically Israels way of controlling politicians in USA, Israel which has Mossad (Funded in the same year, with common inteligence as CIA). Mossad which shares an astonishing amount of information with KGB… KGB which is Russia’s intelligence. When you draw the line at the end, they are all basically in the same boat. The very people that create false wars and send people to the meat grinder for profit.

        Russia and USA, biggest “enemies”, yet… when it comes to war, they decide to fight it in Europe or Middle East and just so it happens that they fight those proxy wars exactly in countries that do not adhere to either Rothchilds banks or are in the way of Israel/USA or Russia.

        Once they have enough technology (which we develop), once they have unlocked key aspects to life, from highly advanced medicine or propulsion systems (you name it), they will massacre the masses like cattle and rule on their own over their own world.
