Why are people shocked?
Why are people so shocked that the US politicians not giving a f about the 99%?
If you think how they got elected you’ll see what it really is. They ask for donations to their campaigns and the rich give for promises of future returns on investment. They use that money to run on “woman rights” or “2nd amendment” gets into office and than start fund raising for their next election or their party.
Everyone should be more critical of their elected officials when they don’t keep their promises. We too divided to call them out on it or organize to demand changes. What we need is a new breed of leaders that isn’t in it for the money/power. And we all need to vote them into power and money. And hope that power and money doesn’t turn them into part of the problem.

My favorite part of all this is all the Democrats saying they will now vote Republican and all the Republicans saying they will now vote Democrat.
Which makes no sense why are people still believing in either side we should really be forming a new third party and place them in office over either r or d. But no one wants to do the work to start a new party. Hell if I had enough people that want this I’d make the third party just to get real changes made.
People talking about third parties should be shouting about ranked-choice voting instead. Until we have that, no third party is going to have a real chance.
Well how are we going to get ranked-choice voting cause I doubt either side in office will even consider that. While it might be hard it would be a lot easier to get a third party into office (not the presidential position as for the most part we don’t vote them into office that is done by our representative) over getting the current political parties to vote for ranked choice voting. Because you do determine who is the senator/ congress in office by voting them into office, however the biggest issue is more about people not voting based on the candidate actual voting history and more from what they say from their speech which half the time is a lie. Also we need more younger people running for these position because during the last election there was 0 people under 60 running for office in my state and literally one person that ran for senator in my area so he won with no competition.
