The only way you’re going to close the wealth gap is by taking it back from them. At this point it’s the only option. The democrats are compromised too completely.

You either have to build within the existing party that is interested in governance, or you build one from scratch.

Each side has extreme challenges and I will support either. We just need to realize we cannot instantly reject flawed allies.

Perhaps a new 'third' party can endorse the good Democrats and focus their efforts on removing people like Fetterman from power along with any Republicans. Or from within the party we can push for similar changes.

But we see how that worked out for David Hogg.

100% democrats are also very corrupted. Look at how many of them profit from insider trading.

If you're going to have a revolution and upheave the system, do it from scratch.

It’s the only way at this point.
