    Don’t mistake that vote for even beginning to solve anything though. This country is died under Reagan. Something new will eventually have to take its place for any gains to be made at this point, this corpse is too far captured, it has been reformed to maintain class occupation and maximum exploitation under both (D) and ® representatives, both legally bribed and owned.

    I agree that voting is the minimum and will not solve any issues on its own, but we’ve been in worse spots regarding corruption, and still came out capable of reform. The fight isn’t over, and there’s more than a corpse left to fight over. The country hasn’t died under Reagan unless we’re willing to let it die.

    Campaign finance reform has been a rallying cry of the progressive wing of the Dem Party as soon as Citizens United happened. We, as a society, must relearn the value of strikes and disruptive protests to succeed, but I believe do have a future still.

        Vote Biden so elections keep happening and make change at your local level. Voting in the interest of the people in local races where your vote really makes a difference. That’s the only peaceful way to improve I know of.

        Giving up hope is what the owner class wants.
