Corporate Dems are just Republicans with abortion rights.

Rich/Corporate Dems are just part of the ruling class that doesn't wanna play a heel, they care if people hate on them and wanna be seen as helpful/kind instead.

We should be hating the ruling class and voting in our own people but this won't happen because the Dems are just as corrupt.

How though? The ONLY way I could see this even being remotely possible is ranked choice voting(which my state is currently trying to trick the voters into voting against it by coding it as pro-immigration, MO is so messed up), but even then I don’t really see any way for a 3rd party candidate to actually get enough votes to mention let alone get elected. The fact that there’s so much money involved in getting elected is debilitating. With the democrats not allowing anyone on the ticket who doesn’t play ball with their corporate interests I don’t see anyone actually worth anything getting the democrat nomination. I just don’t see a path out of this without stuff like ranked choice voting and ending things like citizens united, but neither of those things are possible with the current Supreme Court being able to overturn any choice their billionaire benefactors don’t agree with. I’m not trying to be obtuse, I just can’t see a way through these barriers.

Oh I 100% agree with you.

We need for sure ranked voting but also a cap on political donations, they need to be personal only and limited to a certain dollar amount.

We find a way to make sure that prison guards do not guard over their known associates/family etc. We can do the same due diligence with trading and stocks. You shouldn't be able to trade if you are in politics.

We need to separate corporations and people. We also need to implement a fine system based on your/coporate total assets.

Criminally charge the bankers like we do druggies and get the druggies actual treatment.

Create a prison system based of reformation.

I literally could go on and on, I'm sorry I'm passionate haha
