The more money they have, the more they can purchase our democracy. Every dollar in it providing a little extra weight on the boot on our necks.
It is the single most important voice we have anymore. The free choice to support those who wish to destroy what little is left of our country and planet, to actively work for and invest in climate denial, war, destruction of safety nets, education, labor, Jim Crow laws and conservative ideals.
Or, to be someone who wishes not to contribute to and conversely profit from those goals.
The only people to blame for where we are now are the ones keeping us where we are now.
