It’s important to recognize that this horror, this genocide, has come directly from our country. Materially and spiritually. If we are a democracy then every citizen is complicit and we all must immediately recall, reject, vote out, our corrupted and immoral legislators. If we are an oligarchy, then we must urgently and peacefully create a new legitimate form of government. Including the prosecution of Biden and his fellow war criminals. It doesn’t matter how difficult it is or how long it takes. The days of US imperial, criminal, immunity must end.
Corruption is the case. Following is the summary of the pro-Israeli "contributions" during the period 1990 to 2024. Any person can find who are those paid politicians by checking it in the opensecrets.org website.

Independents 2 $650 $11,700
TOTAL 4235 $25,701 $108,843,419

Thank You, Open Secrets is an excellent resource! The redesign of Congress to facilitate its own corruption negates any democratic function it may have once had. Most recently the Demo leadership blocked any attempt to constrain members from using their votes to enhance their and their families investment opportunities. This is straight up clear corruption, undermining their oath and commitment to their constituents needs. Elections will only change this if there is a major social movement to challenge this crap. One or two ain't gonna do it..
Agreed. And the problem is that most of our leadership is corrupted from the judiciary to the local politicians. From Democracynow.org news of 05/17/24:
"The Washington Post reports a group of billionaires and business interests privately pressured New York City Mayor Eric Adams to deploy police on pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University. A WhatsApp group with some of the country’s wealthiest people detailed donations to Adams’s campaign and conversations with the mayor. Some of those involved include real estate magnate Barry Sternlicht; Daniel Lubetzky, founder of the Kind Snacks brand; hedge fund manager Daniel Loeb; and founder of Thor Equities, Joseph Sitt."
Yes. This is why I vote for a third party instead of the lesser evil. Doing that, I protest, and since the chances of winning are low, one of the evils will win and continue the status quo until the majority of the people revolt and change the system.

When things get completely corrupted, is when things get changed.
I saw that show. We are all fortunate to have alternative media! Seriously.

It would be great if so many folks voted third party that it created a real electoral crisis. Dream on…. I’m voting for Jill regardless.
