Marianne has the most adult and wise observations about the political system that we see. Most of us act as spectators, but we need to go as far as getting off our posteriors and speaking our minds. We have elected officials, but do they represent us, or they're donors?
We have a corrupt system and that must change, and we all know that. Bernie got our support, but the DNC undermines progressives. Obama made it through the support of many of us, he actually sold us out. His "Medicare for All" was a deal with the insurance companies. He was also a major exporter of humans. He also had major opposition after year two from Mitch for anything he wanted to do for the country. (He is still working on that opposition)
It is easy to dismiss all of the huge unethical & immoral decisions made over the years, but most of it is based on politicians/money.
We need to address the money in politics, the influence and from where, ethics in politics.
Ultimately it boils down to who runs the country? The voted in "Representatives and Senators" or the people.
Is this a game of who can persuade the public with more money, (money, not ideas or policy) or who gets out on the ground and listens to the concerns of the people?
Many if not most get our news through some sort of news service. We listen or watch because they feed us what we want. And pummels us with advertising. But we need something that is much more critical of all the BS. When you find it you need to support it. Yes it costs a few bucks, but that is better than getting feed some formulaic pablum from a corporate profiteer who in turn feeds the coffers of some politicians.
At this point, what we in the grassroots, the working class/peasants regular people. must do is put the final nail in the coffin of voting/electoral politics. After seeing everything unfold for the past 2 years, I’ve come to realize that the only we’re gonna achieve change in this country and for the world, to save humanity, is for direct action. Our brother Kyle is right, the way we strengthen our fight is for universal unionization, specific issue-advocacy protests - such as #March4Med4All - and a prolonged #GeneralStrike. We see it happening with numerous fighting for a union, and it’s happened in the past, Malcolm X and MLK set the precedent with the March on Washington. That’s why I genuinely feel that Krystal & Kyle should from now be passionately and fervently being calling for aforementioned 3 courses of action, and to the extent they participate in electoral politics, they vote for candidates outside the duopoly, and if they can rank their candidates, they must do it. So yeah, NO more electoral politics, because voting is the adult equivalent of president writing letters to Santa. So yeah,
I say we have a President Jesse Ventura/V.P. Kshama Sawant. What about u guys?
1) Kyle says Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan was the most based thing ever. Anybody who questions it is just being a partisan.
2) Kyle tells Marianne Williamson to run. But wasn’t Marianne Williamson against the withdrawal because we needed empire to protect women’s rights in Middle East?

Love Marianne. Looking forward to this interview.

I don’t understand Kyle’s logic.
1) Kyle says Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan was the most based thing ever. Anybody who questions it is just being a partisan.
2) Kyle tells Marianne Williamson to run. But wasn’t Marianne Williamson against the withdrawal because we needed empire to protect women’s rights in Middle East?
So excited!
