..taking it all back from the guys that 'have' been interested & have 'invested'
..time & again paying & lobbying to get-what-they-wanted
..it is going to require a lot more involvement on the part of ordinary citizens..
..don't wanna do it.. too busy to find-time..
..then don't expect much at all to happen different..
..and it all just comes to an end LOTS sooner..
..having a discussion recently.. someone asked.. where are all these progressive leaders..
..well, you have to go looking for them, and they are not hard to spot..
..they believe that:
- ..the threat of climate disruption is our number one concern.. and must be dealt with NOW..!!.. moving from all fossil fuels to alternative energy needs to happen ASAP..!!
- ..money must be removed from politics.. they must not accept ANY donations from corporate PAC's..or big donations from corporate executives.. period....!!
- ..healthcare & education should be free and provided to all citizens.
- ..Wall Street must be re-regulated to protect citizens from exploitation...and the economy from recession and depression
- ..the super wealthy must pay their fair tax share.. tax avoidance and use of tax loopholes stopped..!!
- .. endless wars, and war-for-profit are to end.. spending 2/3's of our annual budget on the MIC is insane and harmful to the country..!!
- .. reform immigration policy so that it respects the rights of ALL immigrant peoples..
- .. reform the voting system..eliminate abuses & voter suppression..
..there are others ..marriage & gender equality, abortion rights, minimum wage, infrastructure renewal, prison-system reform.. etal.. but would they believe in the above.. they will all these others as well..
..listen
to progressive leaders like Elizabeth Warren & Bernie Sanders & Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez..
they understand what's desperately needed to solve the very daunting
challenges this country is facing..
..get names.. do searches what they have been saying.. what they believe in.. and yay/nay voting records are hard to hide or deny..
..democracy without much effort has brought us to this juncture.. the more effort we put into educating ourselves, the more we will be able to create a better government..
..there is no alternative.. we are now crashing & burning and it will only continue unless we change it.. doing the same thing over & over and expecting any change is futile & dumb..
..we pull our heads out from wherever.. or live continually amongst increasingly dire circumstances..
