@progavalanche Dems pretend to be champions of democracy. Yet when they have the power to enact policies that bring more actual democracy, they find reasons why they can't. Republicans don't pretend, they openly despise democracy.
๐ It's all theater. Both parties care abt power, not ppl.
The story of a corporation/rich ppl that exploit the world for profit, the suffering their greed unleashes on everyday ppl/wildlife, & those who are risking their lives to stop it. Learn more & be part ofย #TeamVirunga: https://t.co/tKjbjbi6PG via @virungamovie
@outsider237 @exxonmobil@AOC Dial up any member of Congress next week, even the ones that represent your state/congressional district, and see how many take your call.
I'll wait.
@ryangrim Or, instead of that, keep their (already high) salary as-is, close the revolving door, ban stock trading, amend the constitution so a set of meaningful, comprehensive campaign finance laws can be passed, & ditch plurality for STAR voting + open primaries to weaken the duopoly.
@representus I can't get past the graphic. Look at the kid...
If that's his nose, why is it higher on his head than his eye, and upside down?
If that's his ear, why does he only have one eye?
Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
@fl_lawman@djkrisholiday@campaigntoendqi You're in law enforcement...

Ffs, I hope you retire soon for the safety and dignity of every single member of your community (body shiver).
@1Quetzalcoatl1@RioTazewell @DemAwakening Both parties work for the same donor class, and if you look past the warm & fuzzy, polished rhetoric, you'll see that both parties deliver the same policy outcomes that enrich it.
The congress'l hearings on the Jan 6 event will lead to...nothing. It's all theater. Enjoy the show.
@lizcgoodwin One day ppl will realize the the Dem and Republ parties are two faces of the same corporate coin.
And campaigns? Theater. Congressional hearings? Theater. Appearances on primetime news shows? Theater. Presidential debates? Theater. Floor speeches? Theater. Vote records? Real.
@JoeBiden@BBWave2020 Will do, as soon as our Presidents (and government as a whole) stop being corrupt and start putting the interests of everyday people first.
Until then, suss.
