Our votes don't matter anymore.We keep electing the same corporate interests.
Identity politics in America tend to divide the nation,therefore distract the citizens from the real problems and blame each other for their daily struggle,meanwhile just very few recognize the broken and corrupt system which enables the wealthy to keep profiting off of our misery.
The first and most important thing to realize is that we don't have Republican or Democratic Party,we only have one big Corporate Party.Why do I say this?
Look at their donors list!It's almost identical which means they both answer to the same interests and rather represent the 1% instead of us.
Both parties are pro-war,Democrats recently voted alongside with Republicans to increase the military budget,and exclusively stop hating Trump whenever he drops bombs somewhere.
They both voted to deregulate Wall Street,which will certainly crash the economy again,just like it did in 2008.
They both against single-payer healthcare system,they don't wanna return to paper ballots (because it makes hard to cheat with elections),they both screw the unions,bail out banks,support fracking and support any corporate interest against yours.Why?Because of those huge contributions they get from banks and corporations.Do you know what is the net worth of Nancy Pelosi,or Chuck Schumer,Dianne Feinstein just to name a few?A hundred million dollars! What do you think how?
Democrats love to blame Republicans for everything,but that is only for show,to make us believe there is still Democracy in this country.
Why are they still in power?
Because the mainstream media helps them to blindfold the masses with brainwashing propaganda,every day,24 hours.
Because the US public educational system is only the 28th in the world (they don't need smart population,but mindless slaves)
Because any valuable content today on the internet is suppressed and censored and will be even more now after they repealed Net Neutrality rules.
So what can you do?
Turn your TV off and stop listening to warmonger,corporatist think tanks.And every time you vote for a representative please make sure that they only accept small contributions from the people only!
