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.

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.

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.

You should realize the the ridiculous peacockery of things like the Met Gala are a big part of the problem. Practically championing elitism while reinforcing a charity-based approach to social equity is not consistent with your platform. And, fashion/clothing are BIG enviro load.

Progress and good and bad on what metric/s? Without clearly stating that, this statement can be interpreted in a variety of ways, and very different solutions result.

They serve you a biscuit & b4 you realize you're standing on a rug where they want you, feeling good about a little progress, THEY SNATCH THE RUG FROM UNDER YOU!!! You end up in a hole begging 4 help to get out! Once out, all you get is a cold sidewalk to sleep, if you're lucky!

Stopping your party's policy of segregation seems an easy start. But, you won't even discuss this, right @marwilliamson?

That is the hive minded solutions. The hive mind is not very comparable with the human mind and tries desperately to write more and more rules, propaganda, financial instruments, wars, disease to contain humanity but they always fail under their own weight.

You are so close to getting it.
