Change rarely comes without a cost. I hope this schism really is about a genuine ideological power struggle and not a shady backroom deal of "pay me or I won't vote for you". It could be either one. I have zero trust in the government though, so I'm not holding my breath. The only true solution is get rid of all government staff and refill their positions with random people. A clean sweep and purge. The career politicians have been pillaging this country for many years. Get them out. | |||

Purging the current and replacing with randoms will not solve anything. This country needs to ensure current members of congress and their families are banned from trading stock. Lobbying/money need removed entirely, too much influence from powerful companies/corporations/associations. Citizens united decision was the apex of bad decisions. Term limits in theory sound alright, but I am not 100% sold on this. On its own it does not work. | |||

But who knows. There are downsides to term limits too. | |||

I keep waiting for a hero to swoop in and save us, but it might be up to us to clean the place up. But everyone is understandably busy with their life. Are we even able to correct this while working inside their system? Can we fix this just by voting? Sounds ridiculous, but I wish we could crowd fund an investigative team to root out the corruption. But that's a pipe dream. They would never be able to get close enough to the bad actors. | |||
