Time and the degree of corruption have passed him by..

(“The result of the political system being hijacked by the economic elite has been near unanimous support for pro-wealthy, pro-business policies, like TPP. As the rich use these policies to become richer and more politically powerful, our democracy is being replaced by plutocracy.”
So corrupt is the system and so pervasive the infection of bankster and corporate interest, state run and managed elections are incapable of preventing the rot and stopping the slide into a full-blown “public-private” (a euphemism for corporatism or fascism) police state.
Even if declared socialist radical Bernie Sanders won the election or political outlier Donald Trump managed to overcome the efforts of the elite to prevent him from entering the White House, there are 535 collaborators (give or take a handful of brave souls) in Congress bought and sold by the corporate elite. There is a massive and well-entrenched federal, state and local government bureaucracy providing millions of jobs and doling out trillions of dollars to people who will vote for the plutocracy’s frontmen. Sincere change is virtually impossible using a rigged political system. Increasingly, political activity outside of that corrupt system is deemed criminal behavior.)
The corruption in government and business in the USA is flushing our social progress down the toilet.

It's the money. We have to get it out of politics but there is absolutely no move to do so currently and no real momentum in that direction. So I don't see it changing in my lifetime. I'm becoming a cynic.

I think the discussion about the fund raising activities of both parties are in this section.

Joe Biden kissing his own ass. I don't know how he does it, but, apparently it's doable.

These clips are long and arduous, I know, but I have time to listen as I'm making my way around that seventh circle of hell known as 495. Sometimes these guys say shit that is just unreal. Have a good day everyone. Stay safe and I wish it would quit raining here for the love of God. I'm pretty certain my well is full and I can just ladle my water off the top of that steel pipe that is sticking out of the ground.
