        It’s called a plutocracy … a system built on power and those who hold power.

        Whatever it is … it isn’t a democracy.

        When people talk about the illegitimacy of democracy under capitalism, this scarecrow and her late husband are why.

        How can democracy co-exist in an economic system where orgs are run like dictatorships from the top down, and individuals hold more wealth, power, and influence than entire nation states — despite those orgs employing, and being dependent on, thousands or millions of workers?

        It’s not. At the end of the day, their vote is still just one of many.

        Fucking vote. Get your friends to vote. Volunteer for a campaign. There are a ton of liberal groups that call people or knock on doors to get out the vote.

        The only thing she has is money which hires… people to get out the vote. Commercials, endorsements, etc. none of that was enough to get Hillary elected. GOTV is what works. Fucking do it.
