She doesn't read palms as far as I know.

I've never heard anyone cogently criticizing her on the issues.

Most voters who suffered from the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment and the subsequent "controlled explosion" that poisoned the shit out of that area voted to deregulate everything. Trump even went there after the poisoning and did a rally.

You're assuming a lot: elections, peaceful transfer of power, Congress composition, even the unity of the states is an assumption at this point. If King Trump gets in, many states will refuse to cooperate (if you think this is too wild, many locales and at least one state already refuse to cooperate with ICE, Texas was at one point not cooperating with the Feds on their Southern border). What happens after that is anyone's guess.

Basically if you're willing to kiss the right rings, the barrier is not too high.

If you intend to be a populist and serve the broad interests of most of your constituents, the barrier to entry is sky high.

Ban them from accepting straw donations, ban CPACs, ban PACs, ban revolving doors, ban stock ownership, enforce the emoluments clause, ban all the foreign money from the USA politics, and institute a campaign finance reform.

It's almost like the billionaire-owned media was busy manufacturing consent and it was going somewhat well for some time.

I mean Biden has had a series of the senility moments caught on tape, but before the presidential debate the billionaire-owned media successfully manufactured consent by telling the voters to ignore their lying eyes. Not all the senior moments were equally bad, so plenty of plausible sounding excuses were generated.

After the presidential debate the reality of Biden's condition was so blatantly exposed, the consent-making machine panicked and started furiously backtracking.

This situation isn't a joke because a lot of the billionaires will be negatively affected once Trump becomes King in November. With his King powers Trump can make CNN and MSNBC cease to exist. CNN and MSNBC don't give two hoots about journalism or about holding power to account (they'd have to hold their own billionaire owners to account then), but they do care massively about their own safety. They are scared now because they no longer believe Biden has a chance.

And all this insanity happened because none of the players in this story trust the democratic process. None of them trust the American people. None of the involved players respect the voters. They all believe they know what's best for us.

If we had a real open and democratic primary none of this would be happening.

Oh yea, which risks and consequences have you engineered for your truant representatives that they continue ignoring you?

Assuming the most benign motivations is copium and hopium.

If voting is all you do, that will kick the can down the road and buy some time (I assume a Democrat will win), but will not change the dynamics at play.

Buying time is good but insufficient to keep our democracy.

If you engineer meaningful risks and consequences for the party, they will HAVE to listen to you.

If you only plan to beg them politely, they could choose to ignore you. Whether or not they listened to you in this case would be completely at the pleasure of the party.
