The wealthy elite and their lap dogs aka politicians are laughing all the way to the bank.

For you liberals, the Dems in DC don't care about you.

For you conservatives, the Pubs in DC dont care about you.

Wake up people.

There is a reason nothing major changes no matter who is in office.

Stop supporting our broken political system.

Stop accepting shit corrupt politicians.

Get some standards for christ sake.
 


Court rules that American Samoans are entitled to birthright citizenship – AsAmNews

Views from the Edge American Samoans, long denied birthright citizenship, finally won a court victory in the quest towards equality. The lawsuit that brought the ruling didn’t originate in the island territory but in the state of Utah where three Samoan American residents filed their claim...

Power corrupts. Get 'em all out and bring in another bunch that'll be corrupted even more so.

All I'll give you on that is that there are comparatively rare anomalies that aren't fully corrupted. The atmosphere in politics is so thick that they don't even think they are corrupt, just business as usual.

I can name many presidents who were not corrupted.

Jimmy Carter was never corrupted. Thats an example that I think would be universally agreed on.

I don't believe that Eisenhower was corrupted.

There are many presidents who were not corrupted.

So it's not the power that corrupts, but the power does attract corrupt people who are willing to do things to get the power that uncorruptable people might not.

1) Remove money from politics

2) Get standards and when they are not met, heads roll
 

"And that is why I will vote for Donald Trump in 2024."
 

Let's assume Carter wasn't corrupt.

He damn sure was complicate.

Unless you are trying to tell me that during Carter's president

1) Large donations were banned
2) Healthcare was affordable
3) Military spending was reasonable
4) Education was properly funded

I could go on, but you get my picture.

I don't vote.

Voting is what keeps the system in place.

It's what keeps the corrupt pigs in office.

It's what keeps the two party monopoly rolling.
 
And your alternative to democracy is what exactly?
 
"look at me everyone! im an INDEPENDENT and dont belong to either side. You cant poopoo an INDEPENDENT!"
 

Which of the things on your list does the president have control over?
 

We should definitely give those elites the power to beat and mutilate people by declaring them criminals.

He wants to be dictator of America, even though he doesn’t live there and hasn’t for more than a decade. He basically wants to be an American Ahmed Chalabi.
 
Since you admit you don't vote, what is your point?

A president can do damn near anything with

1) The people behind him / in favor of said action
2) Executive Orders

Example.

Biden holds a state of the Union address.

He pulls the curtains back on how big business buys our politicians via massive donations in which the politicians give them favorable policies.

He outlines how this hurts the American people and how we need to remove money from politics.

He enacts an executive order banning large donations from elections / politics in general.

Congress is pretty much handcuffed as if they try to fight this, it would be outing them to the world for the pigs they are and hell would break loose and they forsure wouldn't be winning re-election.
