from an earlier post, seems easier to paste it here:
The US population is extremely marginalized, effectively to the same extent of some countries in Africa and South America, among other places, where you have a small wealthy elite controlling a huge % of all resources, including political power.
While the US did end legalized racial apartheid a few decades ago, the mores and AOB (attitude opinion belief) curve hangs on, with the result that non-whites still earn about 80 cents for every dollar earned by white people, and ethnic minorities are over-represented in the ranks of the poor.
Voters are almost exclusively the top 25% income tier, and when politicians do anything to "help" anybody, naturally they are going to focus on the interests of those with the discretionary resources to donate, volunteer, vote, etc.
More importantly, the corporate oligarchy who funds the campaigns in both branches of the party would be acting against its own best interests if the status quo were not maintained.
Feudalism is undeniably extremely popular for the Landlord, and it is not realistic to suppose that he will choose to have less profit out of altruism or in the interests of the long-term safety of you and your family.
All this adds up to the fact that neither party has done jackshit for ethnic minorities or low income people since the Voting Rights Act was passed, nor are they likely to, and the only reason that anyone other than a white affluent person with a limited knowledge of reality would endorse any of the bushlites is out of blatant, Uncling, brownnose self-aggrandizement.
The average apartment rent is now almost, according to the government's figures, almost 4 times the minimum wage.
No bushlite is going to multiply the minimum wage by 5 instantly, nor impose a national rent ceiling. Even their "health care" plans are mostly window dressing, and not relevant to a single mom who can afford a total of $00.00 for health care for herself and her children.
It is not realistic to expect bushlites and their supporters to take the long view, or reason that huge masses of desperately poor people with nothing to lose is not in their best interests, or that Rwanda West might not be the best legacy they could leave to their grandchildren.
