This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Khanna: Propaganda doesn’t work when the reality is terrible. What Biden had was an economy that was recovering, and we got hurt by propaganda. Now you actually have a terribly moving economy, and people are hurting. There’s no amount of things that Sean Hannity can say that’s going to pay the bills

The only reason Trumpism works is because it’s identity-based, not policy-based. It’s not about logic—it’s about belonging to a group that thrives on shared outrage.
Logic won’t fix it.
They believe in a world that doesn’t exist and see no problem in the fact that they can’t prove what they say.
