Here's the ONLY way to take back America from the 1%. VOTE.

57. Au contraire, change is possible but the booth is not the all encompasing solution

in fact, it is a very small part of it. History is on my side on this one. We have retaken our government back before, and it was NOT in the booth. It was in the streets. People did vote, don't get me wrong. But they did not, in any way shape or form, expect that change to come from the voting booth. That is mythology.

It works when we the people control the show, when we don't, and we don't right now, vote to keep in practice since that is not the place change will come. And it is not because those on the ballot are approved by the oligarchy. Less so at local levels, so you want to make a real difference at local levels, RETAKE the bloody school boards, planning boards and fire boards, which are curiously ignored by local Democratic parties. Tell me why is that? That is where you create farm teams, but also where you can have the most effect, even in an oligarchy.

I have seen real activists get elected and get thrown out with forces that are nasty. You know a City Lawyer, who is thrown out of office with close to a million purse. The pay is in the high five figure. He somehow got in, and was challenging the oligarchy. So they spent seven figures to get rid of him. That are the forces at play here.

I am sorry this is not what you would like to hear. But that is the truth. Get your shoes, comfy preferably, and get ready for some down and dirty activism because telling people to JUST VOTE and that will solve things, nowhere near the truth and that will disillusion voters even faster and ensure they do not vote. That is why the 1% thanks you.. Oh and this is generational.

And I notice you still refused to tell me what do we do with members of congress who are anywhere from the top 3% to 1%... and they are not there to advance YOUR poor measly middle class needs.
