6. We, the people, are merely batteries in the system.

Thu Apr 23, 2026, 06:58 PM

Thursday

I think there was even a movie about it.

Many people see it, no common individual has the power to change it.

We the people have to just abide by the systems rules or we will be considered expendable.

The democratic/progressive movement in this country forced them to shut us down as we, the people, were gaining more power and feeling our oats.

We might win back the country at some point from the rethugs, but we will never rule the system.

jmho...I am a nobody.
