    I think it’s important to realize that there is corruption in the Democratic party (too). We need a left wing party. People paint left wing ideas as crazy but the opposite is true.

      Most people have realized it. But many people also keep repeating the “2 party, can’t be helped, lesser evil” line. This latter point is the problem.

        I mean, the whole political system has been corrupted by capitalism, with politicians spending 30% of their time fundraising and meeting with lobbyists. Lobbying is essentially legal bribery so there’s no need for illegal corruption. However, elected representatives should not be acting against their constituents interests.
