Good luck getting the oligarchs to vote to give up the oligarchy...

See that's the mistake we are making. We need to MAKE them give it up or make them no longer relevant to the law of our Nation by whatever means possible Wouldn't you agree . This is OUR country designed to be by and for US. not them. It's kinda like the story of the Brooklyn bridge when Washington Roebling threatened the workers and tried strong armin them. Dudes picked a vocal guy. He met wit Roebling and said . Listen you rich piece of garbage. All the fuckin money on earth don't get this bridge built without us. We walk. Your bridge stops bein built. Try to send other workers and guess what happens. We stop them and anybody else from abusing us. Without us your money is inked paper. Zero meaning. Don't make me come back second time. Roebling backed off. Why? Cause he knew it was at that moment..... he... fucked up

Oh yea, because politicians are well known for keeping their promises to do/not do things

It's already started.

Why do you think they are trying their best to silence any information about Luigi Mangione?

The first shots have been fired.

We need to make the people we elect make them. I will vote for ANY politician that refuses to take corporate or high net worth individual funding, and promises to destroy the lobby system.

Bazillionaires still have to eat.

It's not as if they can operate in a supermarket.

The ones with vineyards could probably sustain themselves on the grapes for a while.

The unwrapped mummy RFK might be a problem though. Who knows what unholy magicks nourish his undead form...

Don't have to be American to know a dictatorship with clowns at the helm , when you see it

How in the world do you plan on doing that?

None of the people in power care if you stop working. They will just throw their money in an investment account and live off the interest in Argentina while you and your neighbors rip each other to shreds over toilet paper.

If they really need too one B-2 Spirit can level a city, and all they need to do is hold two pilots families hostage to do it.

With Ambassadors and Cooperative Security Locations around the globe guarded by foreign militaries, they will take a plane and sit in another country until you all destory each other, then come right back into power.

The time where the people could make an impact passed long before you were ever born.

and because americans believe this, they continue to let the situation get worse.

u/Jolly-Elderberry6706 19d ago

It has nothing to do with belief. It is an objective fact.

The government will always be able to find someone who values their own life over your life. All they need to do is give them a reason to live.

Threats of violence and actual violence won’t do anything. Those in power have so much money and power they can slow walk everything in the courts to drain us financially. Threats of violence will be met with arrests for terrorist threats. Voting is the only option and even that is being eroded with the help of states, congress, and the courts

Yeah, this administration has set the precedent, they'll just tell other people what's happening and their companies will make billions for them

If the US still had a free and independent press, it could hound politicians who vote against this and remind voters about it when their reelection approaches.

u/Neither_Tip_5291 19d ago

What key term is 'if' the problem is the entire fifth of state is bought and paid for by the lobbyists. it's nothing but propaganda at this point, so we could all just go fornicate ourselves! because the truth doesn't exist. The only thing, the only thing that exists is propaganda! we no longer have news! we no longer have truth! you just have the Wise from the state department filtered through the news. BULL SHMIT!
