And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave Smith

In this episode of And Another Thing With Dave, the conversation dives headfirst into the disillusionment with American politics. Dave and his guest explore the frustrating similarities between Republicans and Democrats, the corporatization of government, and the myth that voters are being offered a real choice.

Key Topics Covered:

• False Dichotomy of U.S. Politics Both Trump and Biden are portrayed as different sides of the same corrupt coin—puppets of corporate interests and the military-industrial complex.
  

• Government Doesn’t Work for the People The hosts argue that the government has evolved to serve the elite, not the citizens, with corporations like BlackRock and Vanguard pulling the strings.
  

• Media Manipulation and Manufactured Consent Media outlets are criticized for pushing divisive narratives while ignoring the bipartisan consensus on war, corporate welfare, and censorship.
  

• Trump’s Theater and the Real Agenda Trump’s showmanship is discussed as a distraction—masking his alignment with the establishment on key issues like deregulation and tax breaks for the rich.
  

• Biden’s Failures and Democratic Complicity Biden is called out for backtracking on promises, like canceling student loan debt and protecting abortion rights, and for enabling war and surveillance just as much as Republicans.
  

• Where’s the Real Change? The hosts discuss how grassroots movements and third-party candidates are systematically suppressed, keeping the population trapped in a binary that benefits the elite.
  

"They don't care which puppet we vote for, as long as we keep playing their game."
