15. Recognize that corporate media
is a perpetual money ad campaign for their interests. There is no competition currently with that. Only solid action gives punch to the few pitiful incursions of "annoying" ads and rare honest press. That means baldly when the economy is good in generic Dem hands the party prospers and when bad they have a fighting chance against the predominant propaganda if they are in the minority. The corporations own this imbalanced see saw and only their own greed guarantees the necessity of a two party system to keep the suckers distracted, the vote shifting evils perpetuated.

The aggregate voting is hugely blind(ed) when people are angry and afraid for solid reasons. Changing that truth gutted system becomes a theoretical unlikelihood. Reaching rock bottom can still lead to blind reaction and absolute dictatorship on behalf of the usual suspects.

Maybe sending Dem staff offices easy to read literature on the media, German Social Democrats of the 1930's, and other reflective aids might get some action to actually counteract the exploitation of ignorance, the game of impoverishment, the death of democracy. As long as they have power they might as well use it to actual direct political purpose instead of gaming the rigged Foggy Bottom circus, but then the mad system has produced mad Dem "leaders" to support it.
