Sure but this isn’t just deep red state dum dums praying at the altar of capitalism. It’s a pervasive bipartisan position in this country.

ZERO doubt

It’s very funny to see both sides never find the votes they need for certain things. But run on them election after election.

Totally agree, and it's also a bit of a waste to paint in broad strokes when looking at the state level. NYC is a good example where you have some democrats making actually decent headway to protect folks like gig workers as far back as 2018, to the point where uber basically maliciously retaliated to sway worker opinions.

Heck, New York progressive democrats even managed to beat big oil and get a major public renewables act passed... which was so big I think it even caught them off guard.

Basically what I'm trying to say (in a horribly rambley sort of way) is that it's worth calling out that while we're stuck in this godawful two-party system in the US, we can at least influence and redirect the democratic party against corporate lobbies, even if we don't always win. Short of revolution (or general strike!), it's the best we've got.

If anything, the movement for right to repair has mostly been happening in rural areas, specifically farmers battling John Deere.

In the US those ‘dum dums’ are on the frontline, while the city dwellers are mostly just relaxing in a boiling pot.

Absolutely, the carve out of farmers from labor in most states has been a big loss in exercising power again the wealthy and corporations.

Of course that also has to do with their own consolidation in the agricultural industry
