[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Overthrowing a billionaire-backed fascist regime requires high bar, sustained, civil disobedience. And this requires connecting people into communities and showing we are the majority, our beliefs are the common sense norm. Both things are true.

There's a reason protests are also called "demonstrations." They are a way we telegraph, yes to people oppressing us, but more importantly to each other, what is millions believe.[/quote]

Overthrowing the current regime will help in the very short term but it'll just eventually be replaced by another billionaire regime until we can tackle the root of the problem. The root of the problem is money corrupting our political system to the extent that our major political parties have become too weak and dysfunctional to serve their purpose as intended.

Get to the root of the problem! The Trump era would never come to existence in an adequately functioning political system![/quote]

The problems in the modern era started with supply side (aka "voo doo") economics, which helped consolidate wealth to the 1%. That wealth was then used to buy court seats which led to Citizens United, which then led to unfettered money spoiling our elections and politics in general. None of that is the fault of the modern democrats.
