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

The undue influence of money on our political system is the cancer underlying all the other cancers. It creates problems and obstructs solutions.

Yup. Agree fully. The thing is, BOTH parties are funded by the SAME industries & wealthy interests. The D’s & R’s work for the same people. Joe Biden isn’t POTUS. He’s the top lobbyist for the private health insurance industry.

The undue influence of money IS our political system. It’s called Capitalism.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Exactly. Thank you @marwilliamson Money and power has blinded them. In many ways and for too long they have been using the money the opposite way. Time to end this and to demand and ensure the proper use of it. Go People, United we can.

Here's how it works: 1) Capitalist government starves us since August 1 2) Pressure mounts to make systemic changes via #ForceTheVote for #MedicareForAll 3) "Progressives" refuse to act 4) Same people headfake $600 to make 1-time $2000 look exciting 5) Systemic change: avoided

Yes. But it’s the money that gives them so much power.
