      Ya idk, I’d agree that there both parties and the system is swamping but I think the GOP swamp that was too scared to disagree with trumps coup and his soliciting of election fraud is abit more dangerous at the moment. However, there is necessary change all around. I think we need open primaries and ranked choice voting to break the grip of the two parties.

      The largest voting block in America is those who consider themselves Independent, at about 40% of the population. The next highest voting block is those who don't vote. Seems like MOST Americans are actually quite aware of the stench of the Two Party Duopoly and the political hypocrisy clown show. They don't want to serve those rich, fake, billionaire serving, unethical psychopaths who fill Congress and the White House.
      No, real people want real change. We don't have to settle for crap anymore. Cornell is a man of great integrity. Respect.
      Outside of voting once every 4 years, we can do a lot of good, together, in our own towns. One Small Town is a strategy by Michael Tellinger that might just suit your community's needs to build self-sustaining prosperity and abundance and get off this monetary-market Hellacoaster ride.

      @@MissAstorDancer It’s definitely a bit of virtue signaling because of the “n-word” compilation. The one that conveniently cut out everything he (Rogan) prefaced using that word with, essentially talking about the power of that word. Yeah, it was a mistake to use it, because as a white person there’s really not an acceptable “context” where it needs to be said. But I do think it’s all about intent, and that absolutely none of it was malicious on part of Rogan... Along with all that, there’s the fact that it’s now fashionable to hate on the guy, especially among liberals (hence why I do believe is virtue signaling). Yeah I probably should not speak for other people. But I think it’s safe to say that is why he “will not watch”.

      Up until near the end Cornel was OK, but near the end I think he was spewing nonsense, made up catch phrases. Pragmatism literally means if something works, it’s true. So if you’re trying to create opportunities and it works, by definition it’s pragmatic. I think Obama was the most pragmatic president in my lifetime and I long for a return to the days when our politicians made decisions based on how well something works, like the ban on assault weapons which dramatically decreased the number of mass murders in this country.

      Dr. West offered up a lengthy list of foreign policy issues he thinks deserve greater attention. I concur on these. However it would be a misappropriation of Bidens times to focus the amount of time necessary to deal with all those countries. The issues that are paramount on the minds of the citizens at this point are what require intense focus for the interim.

      Yes. This is why it's so important for us to implement Public Election Funds nationwide. They allow candidates to fund their campaigns without having to take money from wealthy special interests and bend to their will. If you make the funds only available to those who swear off taking donations from anyone other than who they'll be representing, then that makes them extra effective against corruption. Also, if you make it so the funds simply multiply the donations candidates receive, then candidates still have to get donations from their constituents and therefore be forced to get involved in their community and learn exactly what everyday people need.
      I highly recommend helping out grassroots efforts that are trying to implement Public Election Funds, because there are plenty across the country and they're making progress. My state has recently implemented it across a couple counties, and candidates are using them and winning.
