In my city there are hundreds of canidates that run for every position every election.
There are 2 names on the ballots when people go to vote
Call it what you want, but unless you get the R or D support or manage to get your own rich donor you will never get the signatures you need for your name to appear on the ballot next to their canidates, and the names on the ballot are who people actually vote for.
But if they donate enough then we will never force them to give up all their excess wealth.
And they like having excess wealth, a lot, like most rich people have hoarding mental disorders.
None of them really want to better society, they just want us to not rip all their skin off and redistribute their wealth so our economies benefit everyone again.
With that logic he should give it to Jeff Bezos so he can keep growing it after he's gone.
As long as the promise is on the horizon and they don't ever pay up then poor idiots will keep making excuses for them to not dump their ill gotten gains back into the system they stole it from!
This is the same shit we did with black people and then the gays until acceptance of those groups was so widespread that US fascists could no longer successfully target them.
If you learned history you would know this is just the next group right wing movements are scapegoating instead of offering any policy whatsoever that improves people's lives.
Thanks for being the example of how ignorance fosters fascist beleifs, fear, and hatered, of people who are different than you.
And when there aren't enough Republicans to stop meaningful legislation then enough dems break ranks and stop it.
At some point we have to realize they work for the same oligarchs and that the Duopoly does not want our lives to ever improve.
The Democrats' policies are a carrot on a stick we will never be allowed to reach, we need a third party or more realistically make the rich fear for their lives
Peaceful protest is effectively ignored by our corporate controlled media, and there are so many idiots in this country that we call them looters when they do what you are supposed to do when peaceful protests are ignored.
Lol ok how about picking crops in 100 degree heat for a third of federal min wage?
That's the job you want?
Before you type something dumb also consider that Republicans took away the farming subsidies that would allow farmers to pay their laborers a fair wage.
Our fault for forcing money to be the end all be all of human existence
