 Ah, democracy, the power of the people. Assuming you're a person there, peeping through the people of the screen as you scroll by the minute, by the hour, you're one of we the people. Do you feel like you have power? Are you on the left? Or are you on the right? Or the ever smaller center can't decide which way to swipe? Do you ever give the slight and sinking feeling that it's true that we the people aren't in power but the powerful few? Cause while me and you, we the people divided. Keep on hearing the news that keeps our views one-sided. The lobbyists keep lobbying to keep the few elected who will keep the system running as their funders expected it. And then the next election comes and all of our retention gets absorbed within the tension of which president we act with and no matter which your package with it seems the other side is psychopathic and the panic of the system that divides. Sound familiar? It's the system bro. We can change the system. That's something we gotta agree on. It isn't you or me that prevents you. Ways to evil is the government corruption is legal. A filthy rotten system as some people have called it. So how are we gonna clean it? It needs a colonic. The thing that's really toxic is an ocean. It's impossible to sympathize the opposite. It's not ideological. It's structural injustice. It's not me against you. You've heard that all before. So what are we gonna do? First, work the polls. I don't mean stripping. There's a poll worker shortage. To reform the system we need volunteer support for the safety and protection of our often under-serviced state and local elections. Local is the essence. Then change happens broadly. It worked with women's suffrage and with marriage equality. Even if you disagree with me philosophically, if neither of us gives a shit then each of us is not as free. What you wanna see? Public campaign vouchers. So the voice of special interest isn't always which shall be first. Just first small amounts to us everyday residents to help us fund the candidates we want as representatives. The question is, once the money came and where it goes, where'd you get your funds? That should get disclosed. Especially when the source is a foreign corporation. What were the concessions that their contributions came with? Bypass the companies that got the biggest pockets to flood the whole process with their ill-mogotten profits. I guess we can't depend on our politicians' conscience. So ban stock trades while officials are in office. And it's obvious we're awfully divided and all our waters are tight and we've been often seen violence. But what we got in common is we don't all have billions. So the funding of our politics has got to have limits. But who can tell what policies to trust when those who vet the government that regulates us may oppress the very freedoms they're designed to under sign. Who watches the watchman that watches online? This regulation violates free speech. But how will we free when our very feet bleach on the fears and insecurities of everyone at each? And the algorithm honors those with most financial reach. Follow the money. You'll find the reason why the system divides us. It isn't you and I who truly disagree. And if we do then we can find a solution true of kind and see through the party lines. And even these lines about rescuing democracy you may think it's just some old centrist ideology that honestly is not for me and I can see that truth. But being truly radical means being at the root. And the root of the problem is the misuse of wealth that influence the laws that run the system itself. And if we can change that we can root out the evil and have a government that's run by we the people.
