Politics has become a competition between two extreme groups vying for votes by promising unsustainable policies to unhappy citizens.

Background

- Anthony Pompliano ("Pomp") is a prominent Bitcoin advocate, venture capitalist, and host of "The Pomp Podcast," known for his pro-crypto and anti-establishment commentary. - This tweet (from the @APompliano account) reflects a common viewpoint in crypto and libertarian-leaning tech circles: that mainstream politics is a "doom loop" where both parties outbid each other with deficit-funded giveaways, creating unsustainable debt. - The implied alternative (unstated in this tweet but central to Pompliano's usual argument) is that non-political, programmable money systems (i.e., Bitcoin/crypto) offer a more trustworthy, rules-based foundation than government-managed currency and fiscal policy.
