I personally think we need a civil libertarian movement. The abuses of the federal government are beyond ridiculous at this point. We are fighting over political differences while everyone's liberties/rights are legitimately being eroded.
Congress is subservient to the Military, the Federal Reserve, and even relatively small-time players like Healthcare/Big Pharma.
How many congressman are actually crying foul that Afghanistan, etc., are unconstitutional wars that are not approved by congress--a constitutional right of congress.
Congress also has the right to issue and regulate currency, but even that we leave up to a private bank that has Wall St's best interests in mind--not the taxpayers.
These kinds of constitutional injustices could go on and on.
But most people are bombarded with the injustices of the latest Trump tweet, or the inhumanity of mansplaining.

The unauthorized wars combined with the fact that it's a guarantee that AUMF will continuously be approved is just one example. Congress is simply too worried about toeing the party line and their own reelection to understand it's collective power.
