[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mind you, I’ve only seen the first episode, but, my take away is that we have always been a country where the wealthy manipulate the poor to get richer. [/quote] True but the ultra-wealthy small minority hasn't always had control over our political system to the extent they do today. Government for the people and by the people was a legitimate thing for over 200 years. [/quote] It started with government for rich people. They didn’t even want a popular vote for POTUS in the states. [/quote] I see the reasoning for that--direct democracy can be a wildcard compared to representative. Look at Brexit. On the other hand, we would easily vote in universal healthcare and gun control if we all actually had a chance to vote on it rather than our shit representatives. [/quote]
