8 days agoI have thought for years that we needed more political parties in this countries, but the current system makes it almost impossible for them to hold any real power.
What’s needed is a takeover of the Democratic party. The Republicans did it, for evil. We could do it for good.
The practical problem is that Citizens United gives the super-rich most of the power. It would take a very large-scale populist movement to push them out and take back control.
I did not know about that. Time for me to do some reading. Thanks for your post!
