Same. I think our best bet for now is for the repugnantcons to split, and the corpo dems join the corpo repugs as an official corporate party. Then we can have what’s left of the dems, hopefully without the financial influence of the oligarchs.
How do you propose a candidate would win without the financial support of the oligarchs? Campaigns are won through marketing and marketing is expensive. If you have the most money and a catchy slogan, you win.
I think what you’re describing is the current reality, and so we would need a paradigm shift. It could happen via a mass cultural awakening, where people decide the rich should not be the ones ruling their lives. This is in fact the essence of American democracy. I believe this is already happening, you just don’t hear about it on TV.
We’d have to demand that candidates run on, and elect them on, policy. This is the tricky part…turning a blind eye to America’s greatest export, advertising and marketing (propaganda).
