The Bipartisan Ruling Class Has No Credibility.

The United States of America is the only developed nation in the world not to guarantee healthcare as a human right. The United States is the only developed nation not to guarantee paid sick leave to all workers. At least the United States leads the world in amount spent on the military & number of people in prison.

The United States also leads the world in amount spent on healthcare despite having among the worst overall healthcare outcomes of any developed nation. More than 45,000 Americans die every year because they can't afford healthcare, & that's without a pandemic.

Since the 1980's the United States has been slashing away at the already weak safety net programs created in the era's of the New Deal and the Great Society, this has resulted in the insane levels of inequality experienced today and it will only get worse as the economic impacts of this pandemic takes its toll.

Decades of cutting funding to institutions designed to protect public health during emergencies like the CDC & FEMA have left society vulnerable to something that otherwise should've been preventable.

Both parties are to blame for this and this crisis should expose their illegitimacy. Our leaders have no credibility to lead us anymore. Elected officials are supposed to work for the people, but our government has been hijacked by corporate interests. Almost every single member of congress takes donations from corporations and are influenced by lobbyists in one way or another, wether through bundling or through SuperPAC's, they're all illegitimate leaders.

The bipartisan ruling class bailed out big banks and corporations on Wall St in 2008 while throwing millions of Americans out of their homes, leaving them with nothing and taking whatever wealth they had left. They're doing the same thing in 2020, only at a much larger scale.

This stimulus bill that recently became law with hardly any opposition tied a meager $1,200 one-time payment to some Americans and temporary improvements to unemployment insurance to a multi-trillion dollar bailout of big business with absolutely no regulations or oversight for how that bailout money is supposed to be used.

We are already seeing the effects of this take place with many business shutting down & laying off their workers, leaving them without income or any other benefits provided by their employer.

To qualify for federal loans Small businesses have to guarantee that the money is going towards covering payroll and benefits for their employees, but those regulations are nowhere to be seen for large corporations, many of whom donate to the politicans making these laws.

Our "leaders" make poor and working class Americans jump through hoops to qualify for programs simply so they can survive in dignity while giving huge bailouts to corporations with no strings attached.

I think their priorities are influenced by who's money they're taking.

Even our so-called progressive elected officials are failing us. That includes Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and the rest of the squad. The largest corporate bailout in history just passed with all their support. Only Representative Thomas Massie, a Republican, voted against it.

Although I strongly disagree with representative Massie in many areas, any principled person should applaud what he's done. And he now hated by the bipartisan establishment in DC.

In order to build a grassroots movement that can actually bring necessary change to society we must be able to unite with people who may not agree with us all the time, but strongly agree with us on issues such as the corruption of money in politics, combating corporate overreach as much as government overreach, ending mass surveillance and ending our wars that serve as a perpetual waste of taxpayer dollars.

George Washington warned us of the dangers of political parties and the factions they create. It's easy to see that he was correct by observing the fact that today's political parties are interested in preserving their own interests over the interests of their constituents and the public in general.

This should lead you to believe that political parties don't have the public's best interests in mind, and are therefore illegitimate institutions for a government that's supposed to be of, by, and for the people. Political parties aren't transcribed in the constitution, they've been created by the ruling class after the fact as a means to control government for their own purposes.

We don't need political parties for government to operate correctly. In fact, having them makes it easier for governments to operate incorrectly by making it easier for governments to be hijacked by corporate interests.

We don't need to create a new third party from scratch, we simply need to mobilize the largest groups of voters in America, independents & non-voters. Non-voters don't vote for a reason & they won't be convinced to vote for either party bc they rightfully feel ignored by them.

In order to get non-voters and independents to the polls and form the grassroots movement we need to bring real change to this country we need to unite the anti-establishment Libertarian right and the anti-establishment Social Democratic left in the few areas where they agree.

1) Getting money out of politics

2) Fighting corporate overreach as much as government overreach

3) Ending mass surveillance

4) Ending wars tht waste taxpayer dollars & make us less safe

5) Stoping bad trade deals tht outsource American jobs 

We also need to urge politicians like Thomas Massie and Bernie Sanders to leave their parties & become independents. This should be easy for Bernie as he's been an independent in Congress for his entire career up until running for President as a Democrat in 2016 & 2020.

The two major political parties have failed the public, they've been hijacked by corporate interests and no longer serve the interests of their voters. Instead, they serve the interests of their donors. This makes them illegitimate. They no longer have any credibility as representatives of the people.

We should rally around independence and pay attention to the advice of our first President. We don't need corporate backed political parties and their cronies, they're only interested in preserving meaningless political victories for their own sides. Now more than ever we need politicians who aren't tied to either political party and are willing to implement policies to help poor and working class Americans.
