frankly, what I think we're doing here, is documenting the last gasps of democracy. Updated

157. We can't even get people to understand that we need to change how our government works. Many are

fine with the status quo or afraid of change. HRC isn't about to change a system that has made her wealthy and famous. Yes she will support some social justice changes but can't see her telling Wall Street to stop stealing the wealth of the 99%. After all, "it's not personal, it's just business."

I am curious what power you think we have. Millions of Americans can't vote. Of those that can, they find a system loaded against them. And even when they get to vote, elections have been stolen with nothing we can do about it. And then look at the candidates we get to chose from. Citizens United and the billionaires will determine who the general election candidates are. In 2008 progressives thought they elected a progressive in candidate Obama. Pres Obama couldn't wait until after inauguration to kick us in the teeth. Another win for the Oligarchs.

Do you disagree with the Princeton study that said we no longer live in a Democratic Republic but instead live in an oligarchy?

One of our biggest enemies is the denial that the Powers That Be and their propaganda machine push on Americans.

There are two ways to go, 1) keep drinking kool-aid and smiling as we continue our path into total poverty and tyranny, or 2) as cali mentions, Do Not Go Quietly.
