(5,178 posts)The only revolution we really need is for people with a liberal conscience to start acting like it instead of just playing pretend.
One cannot devote themselves to feeding & enriching the monster denying not just ourselves, but the entire world a fair shake at democracy and then turn around and claim to be someone on the side of the commoner.
We have people who provide material support & comfort to the most heinous villains we can produce. People who deny science, people who deny the Constitution, people who thirst for war, people who deny aid to the least among us. They are in power because many people have worked hard and paid for them to be in power.
When it all boils down to the basics. Most people prefer money over democracy. It is evident by the representation we have in DC. The best ones Wall St dollars can buy. Dollars provided by people more concerned with themselves than the ripples that expand outwardly from every drop in the corporate pond. Ripples that are literally killing us.
