Think about the size of BLM protests all over the country. Then compare their influence on legislation compared to influence of a few phone calls & clinking champagne glasses with military defense contractors. We’ll never get this country back til we get the money out of politics

Campaign finance reform is probably the only thing you could get 38 States to agree on. States must take action, don't wait on Congress.

But unfortunately it’s not. What we need is a Constitutional Amendment establishing public funding for federal campaigns. But that would take a constitutional convention; most statehouses are Republican & would not support calling the Convention. That’s why #StateElectionsMatter

It easy to see the poison in the USA system from Europe, where such money is not present, and elections are not dependent on 'owing others financial favours'.

A general strike would work if it were garbage collectors, grocery workers, HCWs, and delivery of mail/parcel workers who went on strike. They’d **also have to have** a list of specific, non-negotiable demands that would **have to be met in full** before the strike ends (ie M4A).

You’re gonna be tossed to the curb by Democrats like a used ho, with talk like that Marianna!

And the only way to do that is by having publicly funded elections - and free airtime (and we still own the airwaves, a fact people forget).
