Every dollar that flows into the markets, every hour logged on the payroll of a corporation, only leads us further down the rabbit hole.
They are literally funding the destruction we are witnessing of our lands, our labor and our political process. They are choosing to side with the corporations over democracy.
One is only as liberal as their most conservative investment. Or as you so aptly pointed out, they are willing to sign some petitions but afraid to live a life that stands up to their perceived ideals. Afraid to be a liberal, afraid to be an American, even as they watch it all burn, they are stoking the flames with gasoline.
