Parties care about one thing: Gaining and maintaining power/money for themselves. Period.
They only care about other things, such as the rights of voters, when those things might help them gain and maintain power/money for themselves.

They are there to protect the corporations from the people. The two party system is designed to fool the people into thinking there is a choice. It is nothing more than a good cop, bad cop situation. The problem is in thinking there is some kind of legislative solution to fix it.

The solution isn’t easy and will take years or decades, if it comes at all. It starts at educating the public and them refusing to vote for *anybody* who takes *any* lobbyist money. It doesn’t start at legislation.

The solution is to live your life and help others when you can. Vote with whatever money they leave for you after taxes. If you don’t like Cone buy Pepsi and if you don’t like either drink water. You don’t like oil companies, move closer to work, ride a bike.

True. There really is no solution. Politics isn’t the answer, for sure.

Not all jobs are available within biking distance. Normally, areas around business centers are expensive places to live - much more expensive than commuting in a car. Which is why people are forced to do that. That’s my point.

Right. Find one that is or don’t complain about oil companies then. They get you to your job while giving your kids asthma. You can feel good about your work. Thinking that some man being paid by the oil companies cares about your vote is foolish.

I really like you, Dennis. Just so we’re clear. Genuinely so. But, to me, that sounds exactly like “Don’t want to be killed by police? Just do as they say” and “Don’t want to be poor? Get a job!”

I like you too Steve.
All I am saying is evil businessmen and evil politicians worry about your money more than your vote.2 odpowiedzi 0 podanych dalej 1 polubiony
Of course. But people still have the power, should they realize it, to replace the politicians, by running and voting for the non-corrupt candidates. Can’t do that with corporations, but we can with politicians.

It is sewn up tight. You don’t get through the door if you are not corrupt. There is no hope for a political solution. It is fairytale Fantasyland shit that only exists in movies and other fiction like text books. $$$$

Maybe. I don’t believe it yet. But if you’re right, we’re looking at a Mad Max near future.
