It's The System, Stupid

The system is broken that is why the economy is broken for most of us. The system inherently is a broken system created to break men, to stratify society and to empower a very tiny minority of humans. Living life this way is mass insanity led by modern day kings and queens.

This is what Bernie speaks of and has tirelessly worked many years to rectify. This is what the majority of people are now seeing and are desiring to break free from and live free of, a system of mass insanity created by the few for the few.

Its also the glaring stupidity and timidity of the voting public that keeps 'deciding' to ask if they can 'please have some more'.

After decades of being beaten down (by the system) I think most people believe it's a pointless exercise.

Just look at what's happening this year as proof. They've tried to mute Sanders and Trump and even floated a 3rd candidate because they threaten the system. Biden for the Democrats and Bloomberg for the Republicans, depending on who wins which nomination of course. That's all the proof we need that the system is broken and our votes don't mean squat.

The parties doing stuff like that tells people to stay home. The people get who party gives them and they like it. Your vote doesn't matter. It's only the ignorant few like us that stick it around and fight. I think that's because we don't quit, or ever quit, and not because of our faith in fixing a corrupt and broken system. We just fight.

Patriarchal Feudal System which has been around for much much too long. Humanity is being disserved by a man-made societal structure which only benefits the very few at its apex.

We vote to undo this mess of a system. We vote with the hope of creating a system which is truly equal for all. We cannot allow their vibration-lowering, apathy-creating, fear-mongering, despair-inducing actions to ever stop us from working to make a better way of living for us all.
