The Fall of The Republic

The United States is on the verge of being torn apart by Corporations who have put themselves above our democracy, our constitution, oligarchs who have lobbyed our politicians into submission. The question is how can we save our country when we blame these party's, these politicians, these puppets instead of the people who pull their strings. The right has launched a war against the left, has vowed to destroy the democratic party and the politicians that have aligned themselves with them. They've launched an attack against the entire democratic party, they've named numerous reasons for this war, but who are they waging war against. They wage war against the party instead of the puppet masters, the corporations who created the reasons for this war to be waged in the first place. The ones who owned the democratic party are nowhere to be found, in the last two decades we've seen almost every corporation, from the technocrats, to the insurance companies,  to the banks, to the military industrial complex, and every major industry has come out in support of the Republican party, they have abondoned the left in mass. All that's left are these small time billionaires who can't afford to keep this party alive, that cant lobby with enough money to keep it from bleeding out. This is the reason why we're seeing this unprecedented move towards the extreme right, their simply isn't anyone left to lobby the left. Politics runs on money, it always has even before citizens united, all citizens united was legalize was had already taken over our government. The swamp has now turned into an ocean, all the corporations have migrated towards the right if not over greed and corruption then over fear. They are moving quickly to destroy the left, or are least the shallow empty vessel that it now is. The plan is to replace the left with what is now the right and turn themselves into an even more extreme right. These will be your two choices, this is how they will sustain this illusion meant to appear as a democracy. This two party system was already something that had to be abondoned, but now more than ever we need support a multi party democracy and this can only be done by first passing ranked choice voting. Both parties are owned by corporations, this is now what we're faced with. A system we cannot escape unless we forge a new path, something new that can give power back to the people. The Republic is on its last legs, but we can still save our country and restore what are founding fathers created, a system that allows peacefull transitions of power, a system were both progressive and conservatives can co-exist and work together to pass policies were we find enough common ground to work together and instead of waging war with each other. This is our chance to use this common ground to build a new world were we evolve past these differences that threaten to burn this sacred system called our democracy.
