In terms of money dominating the system, it was never this bad before SCOTUS said money is free speech. Then the Citizens United decision in 2010 gave corporations unlimited power to use their money to influence elections.

3/ Either oligarchy & corporate money, or the will of the people, will rule this country - but it can’t be both. We need a political miracle to break the chokehold of the corporate duopoly now strangling our democracy. Anyone who doesn’t see that is not a realist.

2/ Until we get the money out of politics, we’ll be tyrannized by an aristocracy of corporate power that at this point dominates both political parties. Today’s GOP takes us into a total nosedive, the Dems into a managed decline.

1/ The system we’re looking to to fix things is the system that made things this bad. Every time it does something good, the progress made is swallowed up by some result of its inherit corruption.

Give me a break, Senator. She wanted to know someone was going to make sure a madman didn’t set off a nuclear war just to help himself win an election.

They did not try to bring democracy to Afghanistan. That was a big part of the problem. They were propping up a corrupt, undemocratic government there the entire time.

I love him so much.
"We are taking on the entire ruling class of America. The entire oligarchy.
We're taking on the pharmaceutical industry.
We're taken on the health care industry.
We're taking on the fossil fuel industry."

Not only should insulin be affordable (or free), but food products filled with chemicals that we know cause diabetes should be heavily regulated. Our food system is as corrupt as our healthcare system.
