84. I believe the Democratic Party is our best hope. They have a lot of money and resources

that a third party would have a hard time getting. The Demo Party has a long history of helping the People. We just need to wrest it back from the control of the oligarchs. One of our biggest problems is that the oligarchs, using their media propaganda machines have convinced many Democrats to stay the course, to support the status quo that's slowly killing the lower classes. Why do these Democrats believe the propaganda? They are afraid they will lose what they have, so they follow the authoritarian leaders. How bad will it have to get before these, so-called liberals recognize that we are being slowly impoverished and stripped of their freedoms and liberties? Our founders would be appalled at what little effort many are making to hold on to the liberties and freedoms they fought their lives for.

Sorry, I do go on.
