To the extent that the ruling class is still incestuous, I think that’s a holdover from the days of aristocracy, when the royal families shifted to capitalism. But now the ruling class is becoming integrated globally so for example China is producing more billionaires than other countries, and they have nothing to do with the European aristocracy 
Dan 26
 yes, the ruling class decides who can become leaders based on how well they serve the interest of the ruling class . This may include people like Obama and Harris for example, provided they serve the ruling class.

But everyone is related in that class. There must be a reason for that. We're not allowed to become president. Why is that? Because we could never make $7 billion. The bankers are the rulers of the world, and they decide who becomes president. 
Dan 26
I don’t think bloodlines matter as much anymore, you just have to be vetted by the ruling class in order to get the huge amounts of money it takes to even qualify to run. 
Missy
When you think about how no one can just go apply for the presidency, that shouldn't make you stop and think. Only certain bloodlines are able to obtain that office. 
Dan 26
I think the biggest problem is what Missy and I have mentioned on this thread. I do not believe we have real elections anymore, so it’s useless to talk about how many supporters Trump has. They are actually very very few in reality. Most people vote along party lines not realizing what their party stands for. Stop believing that there is massive support for any of this destruction. The biggest problem is the oligarchy that runs both these parties and wants us to believe that they are in opposition to each other on the important issues.

Yes, I agree with Dan 26. This administration is a major problem, but it’s not the biggest part of the problem. The biggest part of the problem is the people who voted Donald Trump‘s administration in and the fact that many people many people in this country believe that he’s doing the right thing. So there you have it and remember, the oldest empire reign for 250 years this year is America’s 249th birthday. 
Dan 26
Yes, it happened again this week with the war vote. There’s always the exact number of Democrats to flip and it now even has a name, The rotating cast of villains. 
Missy
I don't know when people will get that the right and the left just prop each other up. That's why no real change can happen. 
Dan 26
The two issues you mentioned are supported by Democrats. Ice and genocide. 
Dan 26
I agree with a lot of what you’re saying except it’s not one man, or even one party, doing this. Both parties support Ice, for example, and the genocide you are referring to started under the Biden administration. These are tough facts that liberals have to reckon with before anything is going to change. Trump is a front man for a brutal oligarchy that is stealing everything right now and it’s easy to focus on him because he’s such a showman. But the problem isn’t just Trump, he’s a symptom. I think this is vital to recognize especially for liberals
