    The system is corrupt, not everyone involved is corrupt or has been corrupted. I do my best to learn who isn’t corrupt, but we live in this system and not participating in it only hurts me.

      The system isn’t corrupt, it’s working for the same group it always has: the capitalist class. There has never been a point that this has not been true. Perhaps for a short period during reconstruction, before that got taken over and destroyed.

      Sort of the bitch of a corrupt system. You don’t need everyone to be on the take for the system to be hopelessly spoiled.

      That doesn’t keep them out of office
