Yet so many people get hoodwinked by the DEI, Trans, immigration stuff not seeing who it is that is making you fall for it. Super wealthy people who own the TV and Radio stations, decide what you see and don't see on social media...they even own a huge chunk of housing stock keeping first time buyers out of the market while they turn it into rentals that end up blighted. If your brain is too dim to see this, I don't know what to say to you...other than I hope you enjoy poverty because it wont stop until most people are there while the media will convince you otherwise. Sorry, but Trans people are not jacking up insulin prices.

So if you are a candidate with values then you either represent those values and effect the change you want to see or don't do it at all and the fact that candidates pander to their doners just tell me that they are only in it for the money no matter how altruistic they may seem

Money controls politics. People keep electing plutocrats controlled by the elites because theyre the ones that can afford commercials etc. People dont look into who's running for elections. So they just vote for whoevers commercial theyve seen the most. People dont care enough to do their homework yet for some reason theyll still vote. Which i find extremely annoying and frustrating. If you dont care enough to do your homework on the candidates then you shouldnt bother voting. If people did actually do their homework, the most well funded candidates would rarely, if ever win. Because if people understood candidate A represents their interests but isnt funded by billionaires, candidate B could spent 2 billion on their campaign and still lose because voters would know the wealthy candidate doesnt represent their interests-no matter how many bullsh*t ads they buy.

Take notice that most Democrats act weak and spineless and refuse to fight Republicans and do hardball politics. Thats because theyre controlled opposition for the conservative elite. They take money from the same billionaire class as Republicans. Billionaires dont fund Democrats because they believe in their agenda. They fund Democrats to tie their hands behind their backs and water down their agenda. Republicans are their ideologically preferred party. Democrats are their controlled opposition. Take notice that the tiny few Democrats that are actually willing to put up a fight (AOC etc) are the few Democrats that arent funded by the billionaire oligarchs. Thats not a coincidence.

Democratic voters need to learn and understand this dynamic and make a concerted effort to purge the Democratic party of corporate incumbents in the PRIMARIES. The only way they can change is by changing who we elect.

The guy who basically said that Democrats have to take big donor money because Republicans do. Saying thats what it takes to win under current laws but once we win power, we can change those laws...thats some gas lighting if ive ever seen it. Or wishful naive thinking at best.

If you take billionaire money to win, youre not going to get into power and cut off the hand that feeds you. We will never get the campaign finance reform that we need unless theres an organized concerted effort by voters to elect candidates that refuse corporatePAC money AND promise to make campaign finance reform their #1 agenda once in power. Any candidate taking corporatePAC money and claiming theyll get money out of politics is just lying. You have to elect people that arent on their puppet strings in the first place. Otherwise nothing will change, period.

If history has taught us anything. We will see another civil war or at least some sort of civil uprising when this is at the point of change. It's just sad that the people in power don't care enough to allow the change. That's the real problem. Power corrupts. History teachings need to go more in-depth with teachings.

We are headed towards a French style revolution once we collectively as United States citizens stop allowing ourselves to be distracted by fringe social and cultural disagreements. Quite possibly, the poor economic conditions on the ground may force us to stop being distracted by the culture wars alot sooner rather than later, but the point is, a violent and aggressive revolt is inevitable because the mega wealthy and corporations are not going to voluntarily relinquish their influence on our politicians. The populace is being left with no other choice and history repeats itself, we’ve seen this happen in other countries like France. Count down the days, because the era of reckoning is currently pending for the United States.

Why did the woman with diabetes say that only elected officials have the power to change laws? What happened to “power to the people”?

When one understands the science of climate change, voting should be easy, just don’t follow the money, especially when it come from the fossil fuel industry or the heritage foundation or some other organization that distorts the science, one should always research the issues from some reliable non partisan news source like NPR, etc or listen to a highly educated individual on the issues and listen to the message on both sides, one must educated one self, for all issues, in my opinion !
