The only way things will change, I'm convinced, is for everybody to vote out the incumbent every time. Occupy Wall Street didn't work, riots and looting wealthy areas didn't work, raiding the capitol building didn't work. The corruption is dug in.
Voting out the incumbent breaks all these decades long (multi-generational?) relationships with the elites. They will probably reform the relationships to a degree the first time, but if congressional membership dramatically changes every 2 years, those relationships will weaken over time.
To whomever disagrees, please help me understand your reasoning.
- pjc50 6y agoThe lesson from Trump is that blindly going against the incumbent may simply replace them with somebody less competent and more corrupt.
- Clubber 6y agoSo then we just have to live with a police state and a corrupt government that redistributes wealth up? I mean I don't see an alternative. We're in a really bad place.
