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

How about if we made ill gotten money useless...or even a burden. Wouldn't that solve many issues. Examples would have to be set.

Exactly this!

A DOJ that prosecuted overt pay for play would help start the process. Increase pensions and disallow all senator/house members from working at private companies for 10 years after serving in office. Change the candidate pool from greed monsters to public servants. No dark $.

How many years have people been saying this? Do you think you're going to get the people who benefit from the money in politics to voluntarily give it up? This will not happen unless the American people literally storm the castle.

.@marwilliamson, I’m not sure that people truly understand what it looks like to raise the money to compete in an election. I broke it down with @jimmy_dore during my 2018 Congressional run. I hope people will watch, ask questions, share... youtube.com/nSPxoTq51rM

We need a revolutionary working class movement for socialism. The current capitalist system is irredeemably broken.
