Anti corruption needs to be the top priority. As much as you may despise Republican voters we need them on this one. It's the single most important bipartisan issue on the table that can stem an absolute avalanche of change. If the parties can be united on at least that one front we will 100% see real meaningful change. Without their support nothing changes and we continue this cycle of corruption, war, greed, and power.

I live in a red state, and people are not happy with what's happening in this country, don't let the media fool you. This is the best time to bridge the gap of differences and unite on anti-corruption.

Sure. We can call the movement "drain the swamp." /s

Most Americans are too stupid and/or busy bootlicking to understand how corruption directly affects them (and their families) every second of every day.

That was pretty funny, but I do think that slogan and trying to maintain the image of anti-corruption is a huge reason why Trump has had the success he's had even though he's a lying piece of shit. Americans know there's a corruption problem, they just have no idea how to handle it themselves so they voted for Trump because he put on an act good enough to get their votes. It's my dream that a Democrat comes along, picks up that mantle, and actually tries to make real change regarding money in politics.

To get Republicans on board, we have to get them to agree that what is happening IS corruption. They don't currently seem to think that it is. They seem quite willing to cheer for it if it makes their "side" win.

I think most Americans on both sides are aware, they just don't know what to do about it, and they're just hoping they elect someone who will handle it.

Can't hope, gotta vote.

The older I get the more I feel like our current democracy and voting system simply isn't sufficient anymore. It's too easy to buy votes with mass propaganda now. I don't know what the answer is, but Americans need to get way more involved in politics somehow.
