63. You keep dodging this very basic question.

Every proposed course of action must be feasible or else it is not worth proposing. You have to find (435 + 100 + 1) * .51 non-corporatists politicians and do so through multiple election cycles.

This would allow the Plutocrats to get everything they want very fast since there would be no opposition.

What they want is power and control over people.

Do you want Anarchy?

2. If the bastards want power and control let's not amass power and control for them to take. All we're doing is giving them the tools to enslave us. There is nothing they can promise us that we could not provide for ourselves on better terms.

It is easy to poo poo what I propose, but much harder to come up with something constructive.

Define "constructive."

As I have been saying: Having a system is the problem. All systems become corrupt. All governments cease serving the people and they invariably turn against the people or turn the people against each other to serve their own ends.

You say you want corporate money out of politics. Good. Awesome. Sounds great. But I'll wager that given enough time whatever laws you propose will soon become so distorted that only corporations with the deepest pockets and the dirtiest lawyers could navigate the complex regime of regulations while citizens who wish participate are choked out of the public arena due to cost and threat of legal action.

Ya wanna get money out of politics. I wanna kill politics.

If things get really bad the 99% will all start demanding real reform.

Voting for whom, exactly? You started this sub-thread by noting -- factually -- that the game is rigged. You can't unrig the game because you don't have the reformers in office. You can't get reformers in office because the game is rigged. And around and around we go.

How do you plan to break that cycle?
