Dear Sane and Rational Americans:
Please, I implore you
to listen to me and let this really soak in, because I am bordering on
genuinely fucking terrified now. DEMOCRACY IS NOT DEAD, and that
kind of "throw the baby out with the bathwater" mentality is exactly
what is causing all these recent outbreaks of politically motivated
violence!
The only thing that is terribly wrong with our democratic process is the fact that our elected officials are completely dependent on special interest money to get into office, and once they are there, they are then beholden to those donors for the duration of their careers. BUT THIS IS AN EASY FIX! All we have to do is overturn Citizens United, and start transitioning into a publicly funded electoral process. We The People still have all the power! it just doesn't feel like it anymore, because we have allowed a radical MINORITY to hijack our system and protect the status quo. This is also an easy fix, though. We just need more sane and rational people to get off their asses and get to the polls, to vote out the people who have caused this.
So please, I am begging you now, shrug off your frustrations and disillusionment, and let's take back the power that is rightfully ours in this year's midterm elections! Thank you.
