@bmacmixer Could you expand a bit on your question? I don't just want to answer 'What is the point of what?'

@sirgeefive What would be the point of things staying the same? What staying the same exactly and who benefits. I just didn’t want to assume it’s a purely cynical statement. Although I can relate to the feeling.

@bmacmixer In a way, it is just me being cynical. I base my silly prediction on what happened in the 2020 election. I have this sneaking suspicion that our government is a for-profit organization that mainly exists to line its own pockets. The people asking for Biden to step down are all rich and powerful. They all seem to want to preserve that wealth and power at any cost. That simple motivation overrules party affiliation. I think our country has fallen to simple greed.

It is cynical.

@sirgeefive I get it. I have plenty of those thoughts myself as do many others of us. But I still have some faith in the millions of government workers that are not politicians. And I need facts these days to help balance out the drama and bullshit we are fed every minute of the day and night.

@bmacmixer I desperately hope that my silly prediction is completely off-base, and that we finally get a government that starts to work "for the people". I get that the cynical viewpoint isn't always that constructive, and is more me venting into the void than anything. I will still vote, I always do.

@sirgeefive Oh I know. No worries. It was a thoughtful post or I would have just kept scrolling. And it’s a sign of the times we are in.
