They have "avoided" listening and being accountable a long time ago..

This system cannot fix itself. Too much corruption.

Sad but true - the system cannot fix itself. But we can.

We need to vote for government that seeks to govern that which we can't do as individuals (defense, border security, etc.), and which will leave decisions about how individuals spend their money, and on what causes, up to the individuals themselves.

It's bad enough when we have to pay for some pet project we don't even believe in - it's categorically worse when that expense leaves those in real need high and dry.

Thanks for sharing. ZL

I believe we need to step away from much "governing", less dependence and a lot more "local".

Here's the bigger story: Our drunken sailors are on a pirate ship captained by a one world government that has no intension of sharing the treasure, and when totally enslaved will send all the natives to ghost island. The story ends when there is mutiny by the enslaved, not by hiring more drunken sailors.

That goes deeper than my tiny brain can follow! You paint a scary picture, Tina.

Thanks, ZL

This is why I voted for Chase Oliver.

Trump cannot fix the system. It must be destroyed.

Probably would've gone with Oliver myself if he had any chance of winning, but in our system I didn't want to take a vote away from the lesser evil.

That said, my thoughts on the fact that someone like Oliver doesn't stand a chance, since our system actively promotes extremism:

This person believes in the earnestness of those who are stealing his money and funneling it through foreign co-conspirators for the shared enrichment of criminal interests worldwide.

It's time to turn your back on the mainstream media Zephareth. They have you completely duped.
