1) $738B defense authorization this year. 2) 2017 $2T tax cut w/ $.83 of every $ going to the richest corporations & people. 3) $500B Covid bailout already to the same corporations who got the money in 1 and 2. Ready for the political revolution yet?

The big question imo is - revolt how? The peaceful revolution of trying to reform existing institutions from within has failed. Combative revolutions usually end up badly. We need a new strategy.

Given how few have voted, we can’t really say the peaceful political revolution has failed. We haven’t really waged it yet.

We clearly know they won’t allow us to vote for anyone who will change anything. So why would ppl vote?

So as not to be their patsies! When I said things inconvenient to that establishment, they vilified me w/ ridiculous caricature. Perfect strategy: make someone serious appear silly. But people absolutely ate it up. You’re hardly fighting the system if you dupe that easily.

Yes, they did the same to Congressman Dennis Kusinich. And they always limit us to the pro-war, pro-bank, unti-worker candidates. Which is why we can't ever have real change through elections run by oligarchs as they are now.
