Why should we take abuse from a president that our ancestors wouldn't take from a king?
-
Are you suggesting revolution?
We need a non-violent, peaceful revolution - mounted at the ballot box - against a tyrannous political and economic system whereby the US government has been highjacked by corporate forces whose undue financial influence have turned it into a system of legalized bribery.

Suggestions on how to accomplish that when the corporate machine controls the public narrative?

Having run myself, I have an experiential understanding of exactly how that works. The answer isn’t simple because the problem itself works on a variety of levels. But the fact that so many people are getting clear about the problem is taking us closer to the solution.

I agree, but there's a real problem. Since 1968 less than 60% of eligible adults voted in Presidential elections. Younger voters voted less than 50%. Those who don't vote in a Democracy cause it to fail.

Yep. And that’s what we have to change.

They didn’t have a democracy yet. They didn’t have a constitution yet. They created those for us so that we could avoid and get rid of tyrants without ever having to resort to violence.

But you’re ready to add countless new “departments” to this tyrannical beast.

“Departments” are not the problem; it’s what they’re doing and not doing that is the problem.

I'd love to keep it non-violent, but history tells us that the rich and powerful only give up their wealth and power through violence.

With one exception—our founding fathers. Washington broke that mold. Unfortunately, as time went on power was redistributed. It happens—rarely—and it never lasts. Revolution need be constant as Jefferson once posited.
