    They have no easy path to fix it because they take billionaire and corporate money. If they stopped doing that, the path would’ve been obvious this entire time.

      The US political system has been destroyed by money. Many other western democracies are so much healthier than in the US because there’s very little money in politics.

      You’ll have to provide them with an alternate source of funding. I’m glad this will be easy for you to figure out. I look forward to this simple solution of yours. Because entire generations have tried to solve this for 40+ years. Since Reagan broke the unions. Who used to provide most of the Democrats funding. You might check into that. There could be a correlation.
