While the republicans are both funded by and work towards the interests of the wealthy, democrats claim to work for the working class while still relying on the wealthy for funding - creating a conflict that keeps magnifying.
I’m generally skeptical of polls, but Quinnipiac has a good reputation. https://poll.qu.edu/poll-release?releaseid=3918
Way too high. A little lower and maybe a third party can take over.
IMO it's a logistics problem.
The wealthy own the Internet. 7/10 of the top websites on the entire Internet are owned by the same people at Trump's inauguration. The interest is no regulation so that they can keep pouring money into marketing tactics, ethical and unethical, for engagement. The bottom line is wealth, power, control.
Their websites are visited by Billions, daily. They control the narrative. That doesn't even get into news networks.
Education has been eroded for close to a century now.
Technology has grown far faster than we can keep up with.
AI is going to make information control, data gathering, and data compiling faster/easier.
How do you fight a beast this big? How can any other party get their message and their narrative out to the masses on par with the wealthy? How do you convince the ignorant of harmful things that they can neither believe nor fathom?
I truly have little hope for non-dystopian future.
