Maybe voting itself didn't get us into this mess, but accepting that voting is the way to change things might have done. We need another system. And if we insist on voting, we need to have moral people to vote for. We might get that if we work toward ending racism, sexism, ageism, poverty, war etc.
The “Dark Money” votes daily with “one dollar, one vote” via lobbyists, insider trading information, patronage of government officials and their families, etc.
The mostly unseen billionaires who own the mass media are persistently spreading propaganda to support their self interests, while suppressing news that doesn’t.
Then we need to educate ourselves to NOT accept that propaganda. It is obvious to anyone who looks and listens that it IS propaganda and that none of these wars, imprisoning of immigrants, raising rents etc benefits anyone at all but those who already have money.
Great idea. But, educating yourself is only the beginning. It’s necessary to educate several million more of the ignorant. Approximately 70 million MAGA cult members are uncertain.
CK, it's not just MAGA. It's 99% of the population. It's EVERYONE that supports this system of Capitalism that continues to exploit and oppress EVERYONE under it.
In fairness to the ignorant, millions of people have been indoctrinated into accepting the status quo without realizing that better alternatives can exist — and do exist for those who seek them.
I have been educating myself about this for a few decades. I have acquired some allies in the process. I have also been shunned by ignorant suckers, many of whom are racists, misogynists of various levels of income and wealth.

Chang Chokaski, I wish that I could disagree.

one step at a time. we can only educate ourselves to start with. If we can make it look good, others will follow

Keep on trying.
