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.

But, you accepted campaign contributions from the “aristocracy of corporate power,” such as Wells Fargo, AT&T, Bank of America, Kaiser Permanente, etc.? Doesn’t that make you complicit in some way?

There it is. There are culprits like 24 hour, for-profit news that haven't helped. But you're right. This is all about money and power. May God have mercy on what we've become.

Biden admin is doing a managed nosedive.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Depends on who you are. For me the dems putting me in a nosedive. The GOP is finishing off a different group. They are a team.

I don't think government is going to do it any time soon. We need to use #PeoplePower to boycott widely, create local co-ops to provide goods & services, get activists elected to corporate boards a la edie.net/amp-news/6/Climate-…

Climate activists appointed to ExxonMobil board as Chevron shareholders back stronger emissions...

Shareholder motions filed by climate activists have passed at US fossil fuel giants ExxonMobil and Chevron, with disgruntled investors clearly keen to see more ambitious emissions reduction targets.

@marwilliamson #bitcoin fixes the money issue. Fix the money which is upstream from so many drastic issues that we face. I’d be happy to share some more in depth insights as to how if you’d be willing to connect.
