Our huge problem here is that we've ignored warning signs for so long, that the entire system is broadly fuuuuucked. We always said "well the education system here sucks, I'm sure someone will fix it eventually."

Then we said "Well the heathcare system here sucks, I'm sure someone will fix it eventually."

Then we said "The internet is becoming weird, it's making people think different because of algorithms and outside influence, I hope someone fixes it eventually."

Then we said "Corporations are consolidating power and making the wealth-gap much wider, we're losing our entire middle-class and educated people... is someone going to fix this?"

The whole time not wanting to admit what we all know somewhere deep inside, which is nobody is coming.

Agreed, we've spent so long waiting it's all we're conditioned to do. We believed our elected officials would do what's in the country's interest but here we are.

We as a nation need to bury both political parties and get this train back on the tracks because while Dems are far better than maga they're still corpo bootlickers.
