What is “Paid opposition?” They certainly serve many of the same Sociopathic Oligarchs as the MAGAs, but I’m not sure they’re as openly corrupt as MAGAs. They take campaign funds, run interference for them, give them favorable treatment, etc., but the MAGAs have formed a tight alliance among the most psychopathic Oligarchs on the planet to little rally take control of America for their own personal exploitation. As bad as they’ve been, I can’t agree the Dems are that bad - yet.
I prefer to look at them as managers for the same terrible company. Some managers are cool, and pleasant to work for, while others are sadistic, and terrorize everybody for every minute they are at work. Obviously, we’d all like to work for the nice managers, but ultimately even they have the same agenda and objectives as the sadistic managers - to force the workers to produce profit far beyond reasonable expectations, and sacrifice their entire lives to the corporation, or else.
If we want to make a substantial change, then we have to force both types of managers to fear US, and appeal to THEIR bosses for relief. That won’t ever happen though, and so eventually we will have to shove the weak managers aside, and deal with the Sociopathic Oligarchs ourselves.
Paid opposition is essentially they’re paid for by the ones truly in power, the Sociopathic Oligarchs, to be the foil to the other party they want to maintain control with. They present an “alternative” to voters but in the end don’t make major changes, they’re just like a ratchet only going in one direction. That any have voted at all for Trump appointees under this regime instead standing opposed in solidarity doesn’t beat the rap of them being that. And how they want more corporatists to run than actual progressives and they will go all out on progressive candidates to the point of compromising their position to do so.
