We must replace more than individual members of Congress. We must fundamentally change the type of politician we send to Congress. They have to be brave enough to stand alone in their convictions, shrewd enough to leverage every bit of power they have, and 100% people-funded.

That's a good goal, but currently the entire political system exists inside of a billionaire/corporate owned two party cage. Until you change that, the system will always corrupt people faster than you can elect them.

Those we elect set up the rules for the system. The system does not change on its own and we are far from having the kind of societal conditions that lead to a critical mass of people forcing the system to change.

Agreed, though given the various crises coming to a head including
#COVID, the eviction crisis that has just begun &#ClimateChange etc, the conditions for a critical mass of people forcing the system to change are much nearer at hand now than they have ever been in our lifetimes1 vastaus 2 uudelleentwiittausta 2 tykkäystä -

I frankly don’t know. The comfortable professional middle class is not joining in solidarity in enough numbers. Unfortunately, as you pointed out things are getting worse for many people which can wake them up.

True (so far), but revolutions are never led by the comfortable classes. The quest is when are a few million people so angry, humiliated, & close to hunger or hungry, that they feel they have nothing left to lose. That's not today, but it might be soon.https://today.law.harvard.edu/eviction-moratoriums-end-could-cause-homelessness-or-housing-insecurity-for-millions-of-families/ …
